Eibach Pro-Kit springs
Good afternoon fellow F30ers. Spring is right around the corner and I will be removing my OE M442s with Blizzaks and installing VMR 710s in satin black with my OE summer tires soon. I'm considering mild lowering springs and several experts recommend the Eibach Pro-Kit over Dinan and H&R for these reasons; slightly more drop in front than rear (1"/0.06") and ride quality. I'm driving a '17 340i M-Sport RWD with Adaptive M suspension.
Disclaimer: I'm 45 and not looking for a "slammed" look, I have a competition license and have raced BMWs for years, I am not looking for major discussion on ultimate "handling dynamics." I'm seeking a quality ride for daily driver and enhanced look by partially eliminating the huge front fender gap these things have stock. Thoughts?

PS Although it appears the H&R part numbers are the same for 335i and 340i, am I correct? #28878-2 on Tire Rack & Turner.

Thanks JWW. Mind sharing where you purchased them and are they a specific part number for 340i (vs. simply "F30...")?

Check out the AC Schnitzer website and they show all the various spring kits. There's a ton of distinction between body styles, engines, and drivetrains. |

Eh, not necessary for street use. Cheap "coilovers" are inferior and expensive multi-way dampers are total overkill. In my opinion anyways....
