Eibach...
After searching, many people say the H&R springs are too rough, and I had eibachs (pro kit springs) on my last vehicle that were great. However, I read that having an e92 sport, those will only drop my car ~.5 of an inch? Is this true?
I would love to go with some KW v2's but this is a leased vehicle, so it's not worth it to me. I am also planning to compliment it with some Koni Yellows. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Blake |

I have been wondering the same thing - one area of confusion is the difference in drop height between the e92 and e90. All of the posts in a search say that Eibach Pro drops the car 1.2 in the front without a sport suspension but I have also read that all e92s come with sport springs whereas e90s do not. This somewhat explains why Eibach's site lists the e92 pro kit at a 1.0 drop in the front and the e90 at a 1.4. Does this make sense to anyone or is the Eibach truely only a .5 inch drop in the front (1.2 - .6 or .7 for the non sport springs)? Take a look at the post below - I believe the pro kit on the e92 looks perfect here but it also looks like more than a .5 inch drop... http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80171 |

It's not a huge difference in lowering. On my sedan with sports package it lowered it a bit. Just about right, maybe a tiny bit more than I was looking for. Don't see it being any different for a coupe. Ride, handling (with shocks), and aesthetics are fine.

On my car it was something like 0.5" or maybe a bit more... but nothing drastic.

From what I've heard recently is that both H&R and Eibach springs dont drop the E92 as low as they do on the E90. No one really knows why but here is my thinking: the E92 already comes standard with sport suspension and already does sit lower than the E90. Thus with lowering springs, the E90 will receive a more substantial drop while the E92, already is lower than the E90, will not receive as low of a drop. I doubt it's caused by the components in the E92 because those springs work for both models.
