SPRINGS: H&R or Eibach

bmwamir330xi · 03-15-2010, 03:32 PM

Hey i have an e90 330xi and i was wondering what are the best springs for my car. My purpose is just to lower my car a little bit the cheapest way for now becuase i am selling the car soon, so i dont want to waste my money on coilovers. I heard h&r are good but they ride pretty bad and i dont really know if eibach makes springs that would fit the xi. Help please.. thanks

i have H&R's on my e92 XI and love it. The ride does suck though. H&R provide a more aggresive drop too, IMO

Definitely go H&R Sports! My ride actually did smooth out some, but also because the RFT's came off as well!
Here are mine.

do you have sport package on your car? The sport package drop is reasonable and the ride is very smooth... but then again the xi rides higher

How soon are you selling your car? Why not just drive it as it is and not bother with the look????

Are you selling your ride with the lowering springs??? If not, does that mean you are put them springs in now and then take it out SOON??? That's PITA + waste of time/money/efforts IMO.

This makes too much sense for E90Post

lol, im in the same boat as you. People worry about making their cars last longer, but then seeing videos of cold motors being revved to hell.

Sport package or no sport package, doesn't matter for the xi...all xi's get the same suspension

bmwamir330xi · 03-17-2010, 05:33 PM

thanks all.. just wanted to know is there a difference between xi sport springs and i sport springs or are they the same thing?

They do have different part numbers, but I am pretty sure some guys have put "i" springs on an "xi".

The xi doesn't have sport springs. The sport package for the xi does not come with a revised suspension. Only the i comes with a revised suspension when adding the sport package

I Have the Eibachs on me E92 and I love it

jonerik26 · 03-18-2010, 01:45 PM

I've had both eibach and H&R, for me I found that ebiach were a lot better on the ride...
