extremely confused about which springs to get

i have an XI and this guy has an I but if you go to post #7 thats what i want my car to look like. he has eibachs, if i get the eibach on the xi is that what my car will look like?


http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140416

i want to remove that gap in the front wheel well on my xi. i want lowering springs, i dont want the back to be to low. if i do an even drop all around i think the wheel gap would be gone up front but the fender would be to low in the rear. will using eibach springs instead of H&R springs be better for what i want? thanks


http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=480329

if you look at that, the front fender gap is still there and the back looks to low. He used the xi springs though and I’d use the I springs

which springs do I get to make my car look like the picture in the first link post #7 I know he has eibachs so you could just say get the same springs, but he has the I and I have the xi, will my car look like that even though it’s the xi? thanks

the reason im making so many threads is because know one has given me a definative answer. i asked the question and some people said eibachs and some said H&R so i made another thread with pictures to show what i was talking about to see if i could get an answer that was better, because i didnt think i was explaining it clear so i made a thread with pictures.

One more time... H&R's are lower and stiffer than Eibach Pro Kit springs. Eibach Pro Kits springs will be more comfortable/less stiff than the H&R's while providing a modest drop, just a bit lower then the Sports Package set up, which will get rid of most of the gap. H&R's will be better suited for tracking while Eibach's are better suited for the person looking for improved handling while maintaining a comfortable daily driver.

Once you decide which spring is right for YOU, you should concentrate on which shocks you intend to pair with the lowering springs. Now please, no more pictures or questions about which of the two are lower.
