From what I can see on the Eibach website there seem to be 3 part numbers available for the E9x cars.

E10-20-014-14-22 Axle load front rated at 930kg
E10-20-014-15-22 Axle load front rated at 990kg
E10-20-014-16-22 Axle load front rated at 1085kg

All rear axle loads are the same rated at 1200kg.

14 numbered parts are for 318i-320i petrol engines and 320d diesels
15 numbered parts are for 325i-335i petrol engines
16 numbered parts are for 325d-330d diesel engines (no 335d listed)

I wonder if it's just a case of the wrong part numbers being fitted. That doesn't explain however the poster who had some springs fitted to his 335i unless they fitted the heavier rated 16 numbered part by mistake which again might account for no drop.

The website definately states this in the blurb for the pro kit

"Pro-Kit also reduces excessive fender well clearance, making your car look just as hot as it performs" so if it doesn't make a difference I'd say something is definately not right.

Also the sportline kits are definately also listed as progressive springs on the website. I just wonder if the drop is too aggrresive on that kit and will cause issues over speedbumps, especially for those with front spoilers\splitters.
