I'm wanting to add springs to my 535. I don't think I've seen pics of either eibach or H&R yet. I like the factory sport susp but would prefer a little lower look as long as it doesn't screw up the ride/comfort. Also wondering how the factory sport shocks work with replacement springs. I know that there are a lot of posts on pre 2008 cars but I'm asking about 2008 version, 535i or even 550i and 528i (LCI).

I have a set of H&R Sport springs that will be going on my '08 535i with Sport Pkg Wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.

i'm curious as well.

from what i've heard and read, the eibach's is closest to the OEM ride & comfort.

pls take pics when you get them done!

Are you retaining the stock shocks? I think H&R is the way to go. Please post your comments and i would love to see pictures before and after.

If you want to lower your car right then go for the full coilover kit. Springs will give you a bouncy ride. If you can bare that then it's kewl.
