lower my E90 320i

bonnie · 07-07-2009, 02:04 PM

Hi all, I am a newble. I want buy Eibach pro-kit spring to lower down my car, but I cannot find my model on the list. As I know that, 325i is more heavy than my 320i, so I think it may not fix for me if I just choice 325i spring for my 320i. Could anyone give some comment for me? Thanks a lot.

Eibach only lists the US models for their spring sets but you can run these on a 320. However, the spring rate is designed for the heavier models so your car will sit lower than what Eibach rates due to the weight difference. I am not sure how much lower as it depends on the weight difference.

My car 320 is lighter than 325, so I think the car will not that lower. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also, do you have Eibach email? I think to ask them to more detail.

So do you have any other suggestion for low down my car? Please help and thanks

physically the springs are shorter than the stock springs but as you mentioned the little bit less that your car weights may have an effect on the amount the car is lowered once the springs settle.

So your car will lower on the Eibach springs but maybe not as much as described by Eibach for the car the springs are meant for

Yes, that is what I am think about. So if I select sportline Kit, is it a better choice? I just want lower my car but can keep the existing handling -_-

Sorry I was mixed up in my previous post. You are right, since the car is lighter, it will sit higher than the rated drop.

If you are looking for lower, the Sportline is a better choice but this is a more aggressive spring so it will ride stiffer and significantly lower the car.

get ghetto on that ish and cut 1 coil off the bottom of the stock springs. same ride and lower height

If the spring too stiff, it may decrease the car handling and have a jump feel on the road >_<.

200Duece is suggest cut spring, right? I think I will not do that because it can low down the car but it will bring out many problem of short soft spring -_-

Is it E90 is not popular to find parts? E46 have so many choice on that ........
