Springs suggestions for AH3
Need some opinions on installing dinan springs on activehybrid 3. I was looking into buying the 335i dinan springs for AH3 but since the xdrive is much closer in weight with the AH3, can i just use that instead? or are there differences with it being an xdrive springs? I just want a conservative drop but with improved ride. I don't want to go full suspension upgarde yet. Thanks for the help.

I have AC Schnitzer springs on my AH3 with DHP ... see my signature. I am not knowledgeable in suspensions and relied upon the recommendation of the performance shop.

So oln08, has you got a new spring? I also own an activehybrid 3 and i am confused which spring will fit the car. I heard that h&r spring does not compatible with the car.

Received eibach springs today. Took me and a friend about 6 hours to install. Initial drive was good, I feel the suspension is a little firm now. I feel a little more of road imperfections now but not as harsh as my old e92 with sport package, I think its in between stock and the e92. The car dropped about 3/4 of an inch to an inch on all four wheels. I definitely like it, I was actually expecting harsher ride but it is still comfortable, not bouncy. I think that eibach springs are conservative, which is what I like and turning fast on corners feel more confident too. I will have pictures of before and after when I get some free time (most likely Saturday).

After 2 days of driving and about 100 miles on the springs, I got an alignment today from the dealer. I think that the springs have settled and I can really feel a firmer ride than with what I felt right after the installation of the springs. Here are some of the before and after pictures:
