I've driven both Eibach and H&R (i have) on an E60 H&R are more tighter then Eibach but they still have a little bounce on highways with sudden inclines/declines.. but personally id say get H&R over eibach

Hmmm...maybe I should think twice about installing the Hamann lowering springs on my xi. Not too sure I want the bouncy ride. Doesn't H&R make their springs for Hamann or is it the other way around? Also, the xi doesn't have the true sport suspension, even though I have the sport package. Based on that, I think I met get that "bouncy" feel that you're talking about. Tough decision now...

My Ride: No mods

i think if your car is lowered you will feel the road more, so bounce is expected over bumps, no matter the brand of springs. thats my opinion, i might be wrong

Not to mention that regular performance tires would also help with road feel/feedback.

Hey, that ACS front lip of yours, how is it attached? Double sided tape? Screws on bottom? Thanks!
