Eibach Pro or H&R springs

Jamale92 · 12-24-2014, 10:30 PM

hey guys, would either of them work on and e92 xdrive? and which would have a better drop:ride quality ratio
ill be on stock shocks for about a month or so until i can afford new shocks, but either way both koni yellows and bilsteins would be in my price range, so which should i go with?

If you have mSport the Eibach won't be much of a drop. H&R offers a bigger drop if that's what you are looking for. I went for the Eibach Pro Kit.

I had Eibachs and H&Rs on my E39, given its a completely different car, but I found that the Eibachs gave a slightly lower drop but was also softer than the H&Rs I replaced them with. H&Rs definitely felt a little stiffer/firmer than the eibachs.
