Default Eibach pro-kit on 535i?

I've seen a lot of conflicting info on fitment, even on this forum...

Can anyone confirm whether or not the eibach pro kit will fit on a 535i? And if not, any suggestions on alternatives?

I've found the H&R's to be too firm for what I would want from this car.


TIA

would coilovers be an option? as a suspension setup there are coilovers that would ride more comfortably than springs

I've had coil overs on a street car before... And ever since I've lived by the KISS rules to my suspension setup for anything that gets daily driven: keep it simple stupid.

most vendors list an eibach pro kit for the 535i, usually it's lumped in the the 525i/528i/530i/535i

I would contact eibach directly or an authorized eibach vendor directly. I'm pretty sure there is a eibach pro kit for the 535i....

Does your car have the sports package?

Yes, Eibach has a Pro-Kit only. The part# is 20112.140 and lowers 1". My friend has this on his 535i.

The info e60frankdatank posted is incorrect and is only a generic description of the Sportline model taken from the Eibach website.
