You mean the other way around. Anyway I have this combination on a 135i. It is a perfect match for primarily street with some track. For it to work right, you will also need the BMW Performance bump stops. Also the rear end will bounce over bumps unless you also add M3 rear subframe bushings, but my understanding is, that will happen if you add any high performance springs.

Well, I do mean what I said, but to be more clear. I should have said Eichback pro kit spring with performance shock. Currently using the fsd combo kit (koni/eichbach) so I just always refer to them as fsd kit. I like the height and didn't want to go back to zsp height. I noticed in earlier posts, it was suggested that it was ok to use koni fsd with zsp springs. So since koni fsd was matched with the eichbach prokit and performance shocks was match with zsp springs, I thought maybe I can get away with performance shock and eichback pro kit.

Thanks for all the feedback

It is abit floaty. Wanted to go with the perf suspension and sway. But I like the height that the eibach pro kit spring give. The pring rate are very close, so just curious to see if anyone did it.

If you're happy with the height..then I'd say maybe go this ^^^ route??

Or just get Coilovers...that's what I'm seriously considering....
