Which springs ride better?

Many members will say Eibach. Ride quality will not suffer with this spring.

You're the second person who has told me this, will i need to add camber kits for inner tire wear. there are two eibach springs which are the better for our car?

I think there is pro kit available for e60

drops 1.2 in front and back

From Eibach, there are pro kit and sport kit which provides lower drop means more pressure to the shocks.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. Forgot that I actually posted here. :)

The only thing that is recommended/required is an alignment after the drop. Can anyone else verify this?

I have ordered Vogtlund springs for my car.Any one heard any good,bad or indifferent comments on these?
They say they are good for a 30mm drop in their catalogue.

I've heard about the alignment after the drop. I will do so.

Thanks

Yes, you have to get an alignment after the springs are installed. Otherwise, you will wear out your tires very quickly. Both the shop that installed my springs and the dealer confirmed this.

I'm using the H&R Sport Springs which give a drop of 1.4" on the front and 1.3" on the back. I don't find them harsh at all and I'm very happy with the ride and handling (which is now great). The car also looks way better!

If you use the Pro-Kit or the H&R's, a regular alignment is fine and will work. If you lower the car more (eg. H&R Race, Eibach Race) then the camber will not be in spec and you will probably end up needing a camber kit to bring the camber back into spec again.

Which springs will give me the least tire wear, i know from experience that i will get very bad tire wear from dropping my car, will eibach pro sport or the H&R

Thanks

After talking with the dealer service advisor when he did my alignment, he indicated that you will not get any accelerated tire wear as long as your wheel alignment is within the factory specs. With the H&R springs, my car was able to still stay within factory alignment specs. Based on this, he said that tire wear will be normal not taking into account that since the car handles better, I tend to now corner faster :D

Based on this, there shouldn't be any difference which springs you choose to use as long as the alignment brings everything back in to factory specs. That's what the dealer told me anyways.... Besides, we realy are not dropping the car that much.

I've read and talked to people that say positive and negative things about both springs. I ended up choosing the H&R because the dealer I bought my car from is familiar with the H&R's and offers them as a performance upgrade on all new BMW's they sell. As such, they indicated that the H&R's would not screw up my warranty in any way. On the other hand, they didn't know anything about the Eibach. Hence, I decided to go with the H&R's. H&R's are supposed to be more performance oriented but not as good on the ride (from what I've read). All I can say is that I'm happy with the way the car handles (with stock shocks) and ride to me, is absolutely fine.
