I replied to this thread
Eiback Prokit installed on E61

but then realized it was posted in a wrong forum (E60)


So here it goes:


I have a 2009 535xi, interested in a mild drop, like the one you get on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but after looking at Eibach website My link
I did not find any spring option for E61 or E60 xi models.
Does any one know if Eibach discontinued springs for AWD cars or do other E61 XI owners install springs for E60?
Or do we E61 xi owners really limited to H&R springs and KW coilovers (which I do not really need) for the front suspension?
In which case, what is the correct P/N and what is the best shock model for these springs?

I did not have a good experience with H&R springs (sport) and Bilstein shocks combo on one of my previous cars (99 Honda Accord), so would like to explore Eibach line.

Thanks!

I found these Eibach front springs on ebay UK, part number E10-20-011-05-20, 99GBP + 60GBP shipping.
Seller confirmed that these will fit my 535xiT, ebay item link

Could anybody here confirm correct fitment?
I am confused because the seller does not list 535xiT in fitment section:

EIBACH PRO-KIT LOWERING SPRING KIT

LOWERS* FRONT: 30mm / REAR: --mm

TO SUIT: BMW 5 SERIES E61 TOURING 545i / 550i / 525d / 530d / 535d (06/04 >)

PART NUMBER: E10-20-011-05-20

PLEASE NOTE: This Is A 2 Spring Kit


PRODUCT INFORMATION
