Return to factory ride height

bcautosound · 03-28-2014, 04:28 PM

So i just purchased an 08 328xi. Love the car. Hate the eibach lowering springs installed on the car. Car currently has 87000 miles. I would like to return the car to the factory ride height. My question is what years of xi's are the springs the same. Basically, what year car's can I use the stock springs to return my car to oem ride height. I would also entertain any aftermarket suggestions that people may have. The car has factory shocks which I am sure are tired at 87000 miles. As such, I wouldn't be opposed to replacing everything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bilstein B12 is going to be the only thing that gets close to stock ride height in the after market, but I don't know if they offer a XI option. That drivetrain limits your options quite a bit.

If you can source stock springs, pairing them with Koni Yellows would be a permanent lockdown and performance improvement.
