Koni Yellows + Eibach Prokit
With this combination, how much stiffer is the ride compared to OE suspension? Is it unbearable or not too bad, this will be my daily driver so i would prefer a suspension that won't beat me up, but i do understand it will be a little stiffer than stock. Also if someone can post some pictures of their car with this setup i'd really appreciate it, i have seen some e90's with this setup but i would like to see different angles and hear some opinions on this combination. Please, any input will be greatly appreciated!

If you give me a week I will have this setup installed. I just got a shipment from ECS with front M3 control arms, all new suspension bushings, koni yellows with Eibach sport springs. After a long time of review my options I went with this setup for my DD. So far everything I have read says this setup will be actually much more comfortable while being sportier than the stock sport setup.
If you want some pics of this setup check out http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=869356 |

Nothing wrong with Eibachs as they are my second favorite spring for the e90 chassis. My favorite is the Swift Spec-R. I choose these over Eibach because Swift has a linear spring rate vs. Eibachs progressive rate, which could lead to sagging over time. Before you make your final decision please take a look at a couple of these reviews!

i have this combo. the result is greater in every dimension vs stock. I find the ride to be just as comfortable as stock if not more comfortable (no passenger will ever beleive its an aftermarket suspension). The handling is much much better as well. Its a perfect combination.

I am almost at the point of making a purchase. Still torn between the following:
1). Koni Yellows and Swift Spec R's 2). BMW Performance Suspension Kit 3). TCKline Single Valve Coilovers Basically all three options are similiar in price(within a couple of hundred dollars max). I haven't considered Eihbach but their kit looks good. |

Linears + matched Yellows pretty good. I use Eibach Sport - linear....pick your spring rate for ride quality / performance. |
