Eibach Pro-kit & Koni FSD on E93 sport suspension

Isaiah5411 · 09-28-2014, 02:46 PM

I am considering putting the Koni/Eibach combo on my car. (I had a little accident that bent a strut and they replaced my lowering perches with stock ones during the process. Errrhhhhh

).

So, rather than have them go to all of the trouble of putting the perches back in (which they have offered to do), I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade the suspension.

I have been reading for days on how much the Eibach springs do and don't lower certain cars. Apparently, the effect is determined by: 1) what stock suspension you have...sport vs non-sport and 2) what engine you have (how heavy it is). It is clear that the stated drop (1.2" front and 0.6" rear by Eibach and Tirerack) is for non-sport suspension.

After a few days of searching and reading, I haven't been able to find anything reliable about how much drop I can expect on MY particular car. I have read about people with E92s who have done this, some of which were happy and others very unhappy about the effect.

Mine is 328 E93 with sport suspension. I'd be happy with the 0.5 inch drop that the perches did but don't really wanna spend all of this $$$ if i"m not going to even get that. I'd like to improve the ride (less shock over small to medium bumps) and do not ever track the car.

Have any of you seen cars like mine with this set-up?

Thanks!

A month after installing I have around a half inch drop at the front & the rear is the same as before. Sorry, car is not an E93 but an E92 M sport 330d on brand new M sport sach shocks. Very happy with the ride quality though.

Do this along with the Supreme Power Lowering Perches!

That should take you down nicely.
