Anybody else feel the same?

The shocks are coming, maybe not this year but they will come. I only threw on the springs for the looks mostly. As soon as the shocks come out I will purchase them and install them. I don't know of anyone with the KWs 1 or 3 so I couldn't feel the ride. I have driven a car with KW3s for an S4 and even on the softest setting they were too harsh for me. They might be different for the 335 but I didn't want to take that chance for $1700.

One of my other cars is an Olds Alero that I lowered back in 01, I didn't change the struts and it's still going strong with the original ones. So I'm not that worried with our OEM ones, I'm certain they are of better quality than the Olds's.

But by setting it to softest setting or even as soft as stock, you probably couldn't go that low at all because of possible rubbing issue. So there must be a balance between comfort and appearance.

the funny thing is that some ppl are complaining that the KWs have sweaking problems, then the H&Rs have rust problem....lol, there's nothing perfect for us XI owners

How low do you want to go? Is this low enough?

[tolkino]

All I know is that I cant afford another mistake.. Bunch of ppl say good and bad things about coilovers (both H&R / KWs). I guess I wouldnt know before driving each, I dont need a complicated system, just one setting which is comfortable, doesnt bottom out or bounce around, with a gentle drop..

[flem]

whenever the stock shocks go out just replace them with some Bilsteins

Nice, and no rubbing with the softest setting on that set up? Impressive, although i would probably the front more just to cover up the gap more, but the rear looks almost perfect

It's not the softest setting per se, but a softer setting. I was shooting for a more equal drop so the front looks like there's a bigger gap. The over all drop is about 1.5" front and back.

hey I guess we are the minorities here, I'm also waiting for the same setup

I'll definitely be looking forward to that!!

[reprod]

Waiting for my KW v1 to come in. The KW v3s have some noise issues but I havent been hearing any complaints on the KW v1s.

anyone got pics of the eibach pro's on an e90 xi with 18's?

[flyboy66]

+1 I too would like to see this. M-sport would be a bonus!!

[deletedelete]

How much faster would eibachs on stock shocks go bad compared to the regular springs? KW's are too expensive for me right now and id hate to go just springs.

Well I already have 11k miles on my struts and 10k with the eibachs. I have been noticing a little more bounce in the suspension the last few thousand. I am planning one either getting the Bilstein's or go for the kw v1 once spring comes around.

I haven't read on any of these posts where someone has used the full Eibach Pro System Kit (Eibach springs with Eibach dampers). The set is only $677. Is this not enough to prevent going with coilovers or buying much more expensive shocks to go with the Eibach Pro-kit springs.

Thanks.

Do they make Eibach pro System Kit for 335xi?

[tolkino]

No that kit is not for xi. Even the springs arent meant to be for xi but they fit, and for shocks the options are very limited.

Just thought I'd add a few pics of my E90 xi dropped on Eibach springs. I'm happy with the results. The ride is comfortable and handling is noticeably better.
