paulosportz · 10-08-2019, 05:15 AM

Hi from Australia.

I have a 2016 X1 sDrive20i M-sport and im looking to purchase lowered springs.

If you have lowered the same vehicle, can you please help and let me know which spring you used including website and product code?

Thanks heaps!

I may be wrong but your only option might be coilovers.

Thanks guys.

I managed to find Eibach springs that fit. Link below.

Will post some pictures and height drop measurements once they arrive and i get them installed. Stay tuned.

Just reporting back after installation of Eibach lowered springs for my M-sport to help those see what is achieved.

The springs provide 30mm drop on stock suspension so you would be expecting about 20mm drop with M-sport suspension

Rear springs were a piece of cake to install, however front was abit trickier without unbolting too many components.

Overall after 2 days, the front is lower by 22mm and rear 26mm.

^^^ Niiice 👍🏻. Do you have side shots?

paulosportz · 11-11-2019, 02:57 AM

Here ya go!

Lovin it, mate!
Do you think the rear drop a little too much after it settled? or just perfect?
I'm trying to decide between eibach or h&r lowering spring.

Perfect for me. Back probably abit lower due to full tank of fuel.

Very nice 👍🏻 . I assume you got the springs from the Mini F56 Clubman? I don't think Eibach has one for the X1 yet? Not according to their website anyway.

Check out Turner Motorsports for some spacers. I think it will complete the look.

Interesting. That must be the European website? The US one shows no such thing. Thanks!

Totally agree. Next to do!

Paulosportz,

Very nice looking ride.

Off topic question - what do you have covering the top of your headlight assembly? Piece of vinyl that's cut to fit or some other part?
