Lowering Spring Advice Please - E90 330i M Sport
Hi All,
Only wanting some help as I have searched what springs to fit and can’t find any solid info on what works etc best in lowering M sport model. Car is 330i M Sport , 2006. Running aftermarket 18s , just want to drop it but seen some kits don’t really drop the M sport much ?. Can someone please tell me what kit would make it look nice and aggressive . Thankyou |

Eibachs are the popular choice. I belive they offer Pro-Kit (low) and Sportline (even lower). Bear in mind that an 'aggressive' stance will also give you a harder ride (even harder than MSport) and that you will need to think about new dampers (Koni? Bilstein?) as the harder springs will likley ruin your stock dampers.

I have Apex springs on my 35i, they give an approximate 35mm drop all round & work well with the stock Sachs sport shocks.
Had them fitted around 7 years ago & they've now covered over 60,000 miles. No corrosion on the springs & they haven't destroyed the standard shocks, although the ride can be a bit choppy on 19"s. Whatever you go with change the top mounts at the same time & have it geod once the works done.

Hey Sun18,
I fitted new shocks, mounts and Eibach Pr-kit springs to my 2006 E90 330i last October. It was money well spent, the car feels fab to drive now and it's still practical. If want to go lower maybe look at the Eibach Sportline or H&R range of spings as well. More info here Here's the car after the suspension had settled.

Echoing the comments above, if you just want springs then Eibach and H&R are a good place to start.
KW do a kit including dampers that's worth considering too https://www.kwsuspensions.co.uk/shop...sions/23210001 |

If its of any use, i have a brand new set of e90 330i Eibach Pro's in the shed.
They came with a Bilstein B12 kit but as i never fitted it to the 330i, i now have to buy new springs before fitting it onto my e91 335i. Would sell them for less than anywhere you can find online  |
