E90 lowering options

[D_Iceman]

I'm bias towards getting the KW Var 1 but thought I hear the opinion of the bros here who may be running the Eibach springs.

I know the pros and cons between using coilovers and springs just that I'm thinking that spending $2.3K on a set of coilovers(though that's what i'm likely to do) for a car that's neither fast nor powerful enough to fully exploit a set of coilovers is a little of an overkill.

Let's hear the opinions of the E90 bros who've lowered their rides.

Re: E90 lowering options

I'm on eibach pros and the ride is still comfortable when it comes to low speed but a higher speed cornering its quite firm.

The drop leaves about a two finger gap which looks neat and tidy. not too beng, not too much gap.

overall i say these are good. if you want a lower harder ride then you could go for H&R sport springs.

i also probably will be getting coilovers but only after my car gets faster. hahahaha

I am also on Eibach Pro-Kit, and I would have to agree with Raley that the lowered height looks good for the E90. Cornering is also more stiffer now and feels better compared to stock springs.

However main drawback is the vibration when you pass through humps, especially those in the carparks. (this could be also due to my stock runflat tyres)

i got it from BVO. price is standard lah.

but note that the 320 price is lower than the 330 price. dunno why also.

anyway mine cost $550 including installation.

The vibrations mostly due to runflats lah. anyway i like feeling the bumps. makes the car feel less like a boat. hahahah

Re: E90 lowering options

Seems like the Eibachs are a popular option here. Anyone on H&R springs?
