So big update today, I've been excited about this for a while, finally had the ride height sorted with a set of Eibach Pro springs, did a lot of research on them as was looking at H&R's etc but all I wanted to do was reduce the arch gap & not ruin the ride as the car is on RFT's & these seem to do the job
Before Front Before Rear After Front After Rear Overall very happy, I haven't driven the car anywhere yet but this was more of an appearance thing anyway way, I'll try & get some better shots soon Before After Last edited by JM85; 04-07-2015 at 02:59 PM.. |

While the car was in getting the springs fitted I also had the exhaust done, went for the 330d back box, one came up on eBay locally so jumped on it, prefer this to the tips as its more OEM looking
Not the best photos So next up is wheels & I really can't make up my mind so looking for some suggestions??? Help?? Any one post some pic's of their setups for inspiration? Last edited by JM85; 04-08-2015 at 10:56 AM.. |

Nice mate. That's how the M-Sport ride height should have been from factory.
So how much would you say it's dropped on the front 15/20mm?? |

I'd say 20mm on the front, im not sure if the springs will settle over time & may get a little lower but as they are I'm very happy

20mm drop from Eibach Pro springs on an M-Sport is great. Is this common with the E90's because from what I've read some people hardly get a drop at all. Or is that mostly with the E92's

The Eibach pro-springs are supposed to lower 30mm front and 25mm rear (based on being fitted to an SE) as the Msport is 15mm lower than the SE from factory then your drop seems about right.
Im not sure whether to go for pro springs have you got any side profile pictures |

Drop looks good with those springs. I ahd H&R on my old e92 and you have made the right choice for everyday use.
The 330d backbox looks great too and its the route I would have gone done if i didn't have the performance exhaust on. I've been behind a few cars that have had dodgy tips welded on and can look shit. |

I really like the exhaust, it finishes off the back end nicely I'm just not sure if the tips are poking out enough?? I'm struggling to decide what to do to the car next, looking at spacers but that might be a waste of time as I want to go to 19's when funds allow |
