We'll see if they ride like crap tho

Just got mine installed. The ride quality is pretty much unchanged, however the car is definetly stiffer and harsher over bumps. It does not bounce or jiggle any more than it did before.

II want a set of lowering springs that keeps the dynamics of the oem set largely in place, introduces 15 - 20mm drop and with a hard requirement that the adoptive suspense still largely works as intended, is the Eibach PRO-KIT Springs the right choice?

As another option I have the AC Schnitzer set and are very happy overall. A lot more stable in the bends whilst not being too stiff.

AC Schnitzer is BMW specific? Ive always heard or seen their name next to BMW. How does the drop look? Pics please and thank you.

Keep in mind they are about $800….for springs. You are paying for the name.

Makes a change for US prices to be much higher than Europe! £387 in UK vs ~£300 for the Eibach.

You also get a multi year warranty for things that BMW might deny in a warranty claim and homologation certification, both of which can be important to people depending on mindset and location.
