Eibach springs/ B12 / HnR with b8?

[Dean]

Hi guys

whats the best Comfortable suspension for F10 523/528?

I don't want to explore coils as its much stiffer

My priority is a slight drop but most importantly to retain comfort as close to stock as possible.

I understand that eibach spring drop not as much as HnR but is less stiff and designed to work with oem shocks?

B12 is eibach spring with b8 dampers

HnR is recommended with b8 dampers

What is the best option to move forwards with?

Planning to run the setup on 19 inch m355 rims with more rubber compared to 20"

Thanks in advance guys and looking forward to hearing your feedback, anyone has m355 rims to dekit also let me know please!

Actually, just to share as I've been researching also, B12 is eibach spring with b6 dampers, not b8. Closest to stock feel is b6 but there wont be a drop unless you change the springs, if not they will use back original spings. However, b6 can drop up to 30mm safely from what I've read that why they recommend eibach. For b8, I believe most go for HnR as b8 is designed to start from 30mm lower already. Let me know what you choose, would like to learn more also.

Thanks for the input bro

I thought the b12 was eibach springs with b8 dampers? Its on their website unless im wrong? Really not sure..

Still researching key here for me is ride comfort with slight lowering

The bilstein b12 looks like the combo as most guys are in hnr with b8 dampers so eibach springs with b8 aka b12 shld be slightly more comfy

Actually you're right, i checked with the supplier, turns out the threads i was reading are ages old. Its b8 with eibach springs..

Bilstein B12 is B8+Eibach Springs. Ideally Bilstein B12+Eibach ARB kit

I find the b6 a little too high for my liking, do you think adding the eibach springs would make a difference? I know it's a 30mm drop, but would that just make my car look stock again since the b6 seems to be higher than stock.

After much diggin, seems the drop and stance of HnR is lower. Think I'll prob go in that direction although I really wanted Eibachs.. If I would have gotten the b8 instead, it would have been perfect.

Sportline kit will be lower.
