Easy Lowering?
2010 335 Xdrive - Looking to drop it just a bit, 1"-1.5" - - - Is there an easy way to do this? Can I buy just a set of aftermarket springs? I keep reading about having to do shocks, coilovers, bumpstops, etc. Don't want to spend a bunch of funds....
Will I gain anything from just installing a set of Eibach springs? |

Same here, my front looks like about the same gap now in stock form. I have the Sport package if that makes a difference, I do not know. A few pics of mine for reference.

I don't have first hand experience, but from what others have gone through when they only install springs w/o shocks their experiences haven't been very good. After they get over the "honeymoon phase" of having a lowered car they start to notice that not putting on new shocks resulted in a poor ride quality.
MassBimmer references that from his first hand experience: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...light=bilstein
