Cheap Eibach dealer for lowering springs

Hey guys, just wanted to share a vendor in Germany that gave me a great price on my Eibach springs. I have had them installed for a few weeks now, and they ride great - just like OEM but the ride height looks way better.

www.tunershop.com - Email Alex @ <alexander.moll@tunershop.com> as their pricing on the German site is cheaper than the one on the US site. My car has the self leveling rear so I only needed the front springs - here is the link for them:

https://www.tunershop.com/shop/eibac...6-pro-kit.html

I got them in under a week, and was happy with the service. For those that also have self leveling, this kit will not come with the links - which he can add for like $120ish if my memory serves me correctly. I do have a spare set for sale in the FS forum if anyone is interested as well! Any questions let me know!

Any before and after pics?

I'm thinking about picking up a set of these. I don't have rear air so will need to get the set with 4 springs.

Do it, that’s the set I installed and love them (4 springs). It is one of my favorite mods.

Nice! Where did you purchase from? Would rather find somewhere in the US to purchase from.

Any before and after pics? Notice any bounciness? How many miles have you put on them?

TIA!

I purachses them from a forum member on here, he purchased them but never got around to installing them.
Let me look for some before/after shots.
I’ve put about 10K miles on them, no bounce, I believe that they improved the ride over stock. They have the most subtle drop compared to other options, although they did settle in more over time it seems.

How much was install labor for 4 springs? Is body roll reduced compared to stock? Do you feel firmer handling? Thank you

Stock on the left, lowered on right

I think this is better than before/after. On the left is a stock X5 MSport, on the right is mine that’s lowered on the Eibach Springs. Pic 3 is the day I picked it up from the dealer, pic 4 is from this week. I hope these help

Wow, it does look like it settled a bit more after you picked it up

Looks perfect. I think this may have just sealed the deal for me. Thanks for convincing me to spend more money.

It never ends...I thought I was done, this forum keeps dragging me back in. Glad I could be helpful.
I paid €400 (when I lived in Germany) to install the 4 springs and H&R spacers.

Did you need an alignment after? I was quoted $600 for install and alignment but I’m questioning whether an alignment will be needed with such a minor drop.

I took it to BMW for an alignment a few weeks after the install (per instructions from the tech), BMW said it’s still w/in specs so it didn’t require one.

Hey guys, I paid under $200 for install of the front springs. Our own forum member Don @ Unexpected Creations in Edison NJ did the install - super professional - did a great job.

The site also has the kits with 4 springs; they are just about the same price as the kit with only the front if I remember correctly. Don't hesitate to purchase from this company, they were super helpful and the transaction was easy. I had the springs within one week or ordering, and they shipping UPS international priority. Once they shipped them, they were here the next day.

The ride is not bouncy at all; it is a tiny bit harsher but you have to really pay attention to notice it. Def handles a little better, but looks 100 times better. I coupled with 15MM spacers on all corners - that I should have mentioned in the original post - it is a must do also!

Correct, the link I just posted is for the front springs only kit. If you have the rear air suspension, you will need to purchase a set of rear links as well. I have a set of these for sale; PM me if you are interested!

What improved? Are you on stock springs ?

This is helpful. I might try to get a few more quotes then as $600 did seem a bit high to me. This would include rear springs as well but in my experience with my previous E36 and E46, swapping out the rear springs is extremely simple.

I'm also picking up the four Eibach Pro springs. I'll be installing myself, buying from Ben r33_RGSport. Don't care if he costs a bit more, I'm choosing to support vendors who support our forum and help us with all of our questions. Nothing against your vendor choice...I'm just going with a known quality guy & company...plus it keeps some of my money in the USA.

I think Ben’s price is actually better anyways so it’s a win-win. I’ll be ordering the springs from him as well if I decide on lowering.

Even better! I knew it'd be reasonable either way...if it's better, definitely a win-win! I've been sold on lowering since some of my favorite members posted pictures that force me to acknowledge the necessity of this mod. Bastards anyway! Get outta my pocketbook!
