Spring Comparison

I just sold my F10 M5 Competition with Eibach springs and loved it.
I now have a 2016 X5 M and want to do the same. Eibach says .4" lowering on their website. That seems negligible to me.
Who is using what, and what are your thoughts on your setup? Ride and overall drop would the most important factors.
I have tuning questions as well but I'll address that in a separate thread.
Thanks

You will barely notice a .4 drop and most likely remove for something
else right away

Stay away from HR lowering springs, the adjustable HR vtf has been good reviews but if you have the funds me v3 is the way to go. Any ride height and stock comfort

I see the VTF for around $650 but I don't see the V3 anywhere. Is that a newer version or something?

If mine would look like that, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Thanks, for the link.

I didn't. I went with the VTF mostly because I could get them in a few days. I found a set for $416, shipped and I'll have them Monday.
I liked the idea of adjustablity.

With that option you have the ability to customize to your taste and objective. Enjoy and "post pics" after installation.
