325i sport suspension
Moderator: martauto
I'm a big fan of my eibach springs/bilstein shocks and H&R sway bars...
Although looking at video it doesn't corner quite as flat as I had thought!

My experience -
Had bilstein/eibach on 328is - super , really was great
Eibach/bilstein on my 325 sport - didn't like it it sat too low at front and scraped on bumps and dips, bought genuine Bmw mtech springs and its a world of difference much much nicer to drive, eibach and a sport kit front valanc is not a good combination it's too low for the springs and weight of the engine

My 325i sport is on eibach B8 combo and I've fitted more eibach pro kit sping kits to 325i's than I care to remember and they've never say too low.
Have never hit my m technic front spoiler on any thing.
Sure you got sent the right Spring kit Carl?

M technic springs are -15mm and eibach -35mm so 20mm Lower than m-technic.Sambe30 wrote:How much is it lowered by? I want it looking sort of original, I don't mind slightly lower than standard sport
I'm really not sure, presume they sent right ones and I think I did double check the numbers on them when I received as you do , the front valance used to scrape on the old lowering springs when I st got the car , over some bumps or things like going in/out of my local garage where it went down then up a slight ramp from road and just here and there it would scrape, I was thinking the eibach pro kit would fix that and be better but tbh it just felt the same as before, put the mtech springs on it raised it that little bit and looked better aswell, and felt much better and it raised that confidence aswell, tested it on bumps etc felt much happier

cheapest & probably most council way of raising the front is to use grayston spring assister's same as jim did,polsta wrote:I can't speak for tech 2 or others only my car/my expirence, might just be a tech 1 thing, think jim had issues with one of his and used spacer things on the springs then went mtech
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

That combination is known as the bilstein B12 kit an can be bought from bilstein uk.
Just get Googling, checking eBay and ringing around local parts places and the likes of EuroCarparts.Sambe30 wrote:Can someone tell me where I can buy the bilstein b8 and eibach springs??
