I am intending lowerinf my e60 by 30mm using eibach springs has anybody done this and what was the ride like??


this is the finished job

 

Great question because I'm considering the same thing! Which Eibachs are you planning to use: The Pro or Sport? I believe the Pros do not lower as much as the Sports. I'm thinking the H&R's lower the car too much for my taste. I don't want to compromise the ride too much with 19 inc HRE's and already having the Sport suspension.

 

I personally think the H&R is too much. Will go with Eibach for price (or Schnitzer, if I can save enough). I'm waiting for matching dampers though. All suspension specialists I spoke with recommended to do them together. Mainly because shorter springs will feel and perform better with shorter travel dampers. Show some pictures when you get it done.

I'm using the pro kit I asked advice and was told that Eibach were the better springs for maintaining a comfortable ride. I have 18" 123's and the rear has 15mm specially made spacers which do fill the arch out that much more and looks well. Will post pics next week on completion

 

I used Eibach Pro-Kit Springs: 2077.140 on a non-sport 525i with 18" wheels. To me it just seems perfect

 

Do you have a picture that is closer to the wheel well so that we can see how much of the gap was eliminated? Thanks.

 

I just checked out Tire Rack & they list the Eibach kit as its still in developement???
