Review: Eibach Springs on Sport Package 550i

Install:

Took about 4 hours to do the front and the rear. Biggest time waster was getting the spring compressor on and getting it to a point where the top hat could go on. All in all, the 550i was easier than my old e90 335i!

Looks:

Much better. Before the front had a 4 finger gap with the stock 19'' wheels and a 3finger gap in the rear with the same wheel set-up. Now the front is a 2 finger gap and the same with the rear. Love it!

Road Feel:

MUCH BETTER!!! When I test drove this car it felt like a boat. I was so used to my e90. This thing just floated across the road and I felt nothing in the cabin (which is a great thing that bmw did for a different target market). Now with these springs installed there is so much more feedback. Now there is a little fight in the steering wheel which I love around the corners that I am used to in the 335i.

Price:

$275.00 shipped off of ebay from Kurumamotoring.
