Eibach springs in US
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know where I can potentially buy a set of the Eibach lowering springs for my X5 with air suspension, here in the US? I've been unable to find anyplace online that sells the set with just the front springs and the rear links, everything appears to be 4 springs for non-air suspensions X5's. I currently have the H+R's and am looking into replacing them for a smoother, less floaty, ride.

Wow,
I completely missed the drop down at the bottom of the webpage when I looked earlier today. Thanks for the follow-up.

i thought h&r were the stiffest of the bunch... wouldn't eibach be more "floaty" or bouncy?

in the photos above the vehicle looks like the air suspension failed since spacers are not installed.
i have always been against springs alone because generally speaking it turns your vehicle into a very large and expensive pogo stick and a true coil over suspension would work best but with the air-ride i understand it is not an option. from my reading and research it appears the acs achieve the best combination of lowering and retention of factory ride quality. is that true or would the eibach be better suited for a moderate reduction?

I have H+R springs on now, it's what I'm trying to improve. I absolutely love the stance, but not the ride. I also have spacers, so I wheels don't appear to be sucked into the wheel wells.

I believe the Eibach is already available in the US.
Let me double check and update again.

It is confirmed that Eibach springs are available in the US already.
Unfortunately, only for the non Self-Leveling.

Have the prices came down since the open availability in the states then? Last I checked that site stated above wanted $700 for 4 springs which is insane when regular Eibach sets trade for $400 or less.

Thanks for checking, From what I can tell from the internet it looks like the H&R springs drop about 1.5"s, and the Eibach drops around 1". Does anyone have any issues with that assumption? I'm thinking of making the switch, but I'm not 100% sure it's going to make much a difference, ride wise.

What do the AC Schnitzer or Hartge springs do?

ACS and Hartage appear to be similar to Eibach, they are somewhere in the 20mm to 30mm range drop for the front.

I have rode on H&R and ACS. I like ACS which what the Eibach is similar to, not 100% sure if both identical spring specs though.

Do you have any pull with any of the companies that make a coilover option for the F15, that would be interested in just setting me up with a set of fronts?

Anyone on here have any opinions to share on the ACS springs or even the Eibach set?

Only KW V3 available. And it is just for the front technically. The rear is just the shock replacement.

+1 for the ACS option, couldn't be happier with mine. Although, I would like another 1/4" drop. These springs / links and the spacers (15mm front / 20 mm rear) is how this F15 M Sport should come from factory IMO.

Also, I tweak the Sport drive mode to only include the chassis changes and not the drivetrain. Trying to see if that makes the ride any better.
