Anyone regret Eibach Pro-Kits?

I have an E92 m-sport and wanna lower the front a little more. Im thinking Pro-kits but worried it won't make much of a difference.

I like mine, wish the front was a bit lower. The h&r sports lower the fronts more so there's hardly any wheel gap like the rears.

Will H&R sports be ok with oem m-sport shocks?

No regrets here. I really like the drop (front & back - see garage roller pic for best idea) personally. If you plan on tracking I would say you should go for something different but for streetable DD they are great!

Probably not for long. If you want to do it just plan on changing shocks later on.

If you have the money do it once and do it right.

Ok thanks. Does the same apply to pro-kits?

Any lowering spring kit will not be good long term on stock shocks.

That being said, Eibach pro kit is conservative so it should in theory last longer then something like an H&R Super sport spring, which is one of the larger drops.

Just don't be surprised if you only get 5K miles out of your shocks once lowered. Especially if your vehicle already has high mileage on it.

I have EPK + Koni Sport. I like the look, but car is bouncy on bad roads. I think it's because car sits on bumpstops with EPK.

No regrets, I'm running eibach pro system kit, which is the pro kit+ dampers. Good combo. I ran the eibach pro street s coils before that, great setup but comfort wasn't there for me, and also ran h&r's which I didn't like, gives car a raked looked and seemed bouncy
