Please recommend springs

Novemberr · 11-02-2012, 12:56 PM

Hello,

Can someone please recommend springs to pair with BMW old performance suspension? Car is E90 330i without sport package.

Thanks a lot.

Eibach for subtle drop.

b&g s2 or eibach otherwise it will be harsh

neilvosko · 11-02-2012, 10:58 PM

maybe teins for a low H7r style drop with OEM style ride quality

BMW intended for those dampers to be used with oe sport susp springs, so that's my recommendation. I just happen to have mine available f/s

but our cars are different so maybe that's not ideal. Lot's of folks are happy with Eibach p/k springs with those dampers, but get shorter bump stops if you go that route. Another viable option is BMWPS springs, but again you'd want to get the new PS bump stops to go with those springs.

Thanks a lot for help. I want to go with sport package suspension springs if that won't kill the dampers.
Can somebody please tell me the number of SP springs? Is it C or D followed by a digit.

Appreciate for kind help.

D

Can you please tell the digit as well? Is it the same for both front and rear?

Many thanks.

Look it up on realoem. The numbers are different for each car: coupe/sedan, motor, tranny

I checked realoem. It didn't seem to have the spring rate listed.
Thanks. I will research it more.

Go for vogtland springs , lowered mine just yesterday and very happy with the look and drive , 40mm drop front with 25mm rear , comfy ride with aggresive look....they usually sell for around £185 but grab a bargainn on amazon at the mo for £125 delivered! you cant go wrong.

will be posting pics soon ....just needs a good wash!

I have Tein springs on my 330i.

Nice drop, relatively comfortable ride. And affordable.
