I say all are great as long as you know the pro's and con's.

Socket. That e92 looks awesome!

Side note. I have always wondered if e92's are lower in general . I have seen several that I would have sworn were aftermarket lowered, that were stock.

I have just measured the ride height of my car for interest sake. These were the results:

Front Left: 648mm Front Right: 644mm Diff: 4mm lower on RHS

Rear Left: 650mm Rear Right: 642mm Diff: 8mm lower on RHS

Difference Front to Rear was also interesting with FL 2mm lower than RL and FR 2mm higher than RR. I might have a slight twist in the chassis. I will investigate further.

Hmm very interesting, that is almost identical to my H&R drop! I have about 3-4mm lower on the Front Right and about 6mm lower on the Rear Right. At first I thought the spring wasn't sitting in there properly, but I put it up on the hoist at work and it was perfect so I'm going to assume it is quite normal to be a few mm out.

Grabbed this from another thread
Describes the drop in inches from stock height (non sports)
If you are running OEM sports suspension you already have a drop of 0.6" on stock, so fitting Eibach Pro Kit will only give you another 0.4"-0.6" drop on what you have now. If I am reading this chart correctly

Springs:
0.6" --> OEM Stock BMW Sports Suspension
1.2" / 1.0" --> Eibach Pro-Kit (part # 2085.140)
1.2" / ???? --> KW Automotive Springs (part # 25020058)
1.2" / ???? --> Hartge Sport Springs
1.3" / 1.2" --> H&R Sport Springs (part # 50490)
1.35" / 0.8" --> H&R Sport Springs (part # 29187-1)
1.57" / 1.3" --> Hamann Progressive Springs (part #20 090 120)
1.8" / 0.8" --> H&R Race Springs (part # 29183-1) (** Europe only **)
2.0" / 1.4" --> Eibach Sportline (part # 4.0285)

"Twist in the chassis" .... LOL
Most likely your garage floor is "twisted".
As a side note: I have owned many BMWs and every one of them was lower on the RHS.
