Eibach and B4 shocks
Has anyone tried Eibach Pro Kit and Bilstein B4s as a suspension mod? Just curious if it feels better than standard suspension.
I know comfort is subjective but I don't have a big butt to cushion the coccyx breaking jolt often caused by an unmatched spring-shock combo When replying, it would help to state your car's previous suspension type for comparison. Thanks. |

I have Eibach pro springs and B4's in the msport spec and the car is firm but not crashy. I went from SE spec so not sure how it compares to m sport.
I find it fine with no complaints from the Mrs or 6 year old daughter. Handles lime a different car now, feels very solid, almost more solid the faster you drive. |

Ah brilliant. "Not crashy" is what I'm aiming for. I'm going from SE spec as well as mine is a daily driver only. Thanks for responding to this. Forgot to ask if you changed your bump stops or left the SE ones in there. |

I’m just in the process of installing Eibach pro kit and Bilstein B4 Sports to mine which is already a M sport. Also will be installing shorter bumpstops.
Will report back. |

Standard SE suspension to Eibach pro and B4 shocks (SE spec), i wish i went for the Msport spec shocks tbh. Not a bad combo, better than standard plus my old shocks were all worn out, none of them were decompressing by themselves when removed from the car.

You need to change to M-sport bump stops as the SE ones are too long and so will fail pretty quick. You dont need shorter than M-sport, Eibach themselves say the standard M-sport ones are fine.

I bought the M-sport version of the B4 shocks. Figured i may as well upgrade the shocks at the same time to the better m-sport spec. You can use the standard SE spec B4's they will work fine with Eibach pro springs, they will just give slightly softer ride.
Eibach do say that their springs are fine to be used with SE spec shocks. |

Driven a stock E90 Msport so I have a fair idea of the EOM feel. Might throw on some 19inch shoes for the mini plateaux and undulating landscape masquerading as speed humps in my area |

I have been running this set up on my e91 for at least 2 years and it's very much like the M sport set up just not crashy and slightly lower.
Personally wouldn't lower the car any more as I could set it being a problem for daily driving. |

Done mine. Changed the bump stops to shorter ones E36 M3 front and Z4 M rear. Steering is more responsive since the install. Thanks to everyone for your contributions. It really helped me work it all out to the last detail 🤝
