I'd like to buy ACS springs, and I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation on where to purchase in the US. I have tried contacting the US A.C. Schnitzer dealer (Marc) and he is not returning emails or answering his phone. I have read about some bad experiences ordering these springs, so I would love a reputable and reliable dealer.
Thanks in advance!

Why is everyone so fixed on the ACS springs?

I got the H&R and am very happy and it was so much
more readily available than the ACS springs. Ive read so
many frustrating stories on ordering, waiting, getting run around,
putting a fitting on uper coils to stop noise..............
to make me have wanted to get a set. Im sure they are good,
but is it that much better? It is just springs afterall.
And Im not trying to knock or upset anyone with ACS in their
cars already, just wondering if I should have gotten ACS also?

I can tell you that I like the amount of drop that the ACS offers and all of the reviews regarding ride quality have been good. Do you know what the difference is in the amount of drop between the ACS and the H&R? I would definitely consider an alternative. Also, regarding the new Eiback Prokit springs: Eibach makes the ACS springs, so I'd bet that they are essentially the same product and I would be interested in those, as well. My main criteria are that the ride height is the same as the ACS and the ride quality very good. If anyone can recommend springs and tell me where to buy them, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm surprised how many on this forum have the ACS springs and yet I am having such a hard time finding anyone that knows where to buy them!!

Here are some price quotes I got for the 550 last week, but I managed to pick up a used set from the classifieds. Not sure if the 535 springs are priced the same. ACS in the US did not respond to my email inquiry either.

Reeves Import Motorcars (Tampa, Florida) - motorsport department offers them for $670 with shipping extra. I bought an M5 front sway bar from the BMW parts dept recently without any issues.

BAANVELGEN (Netherlands) has them for 515 Euros with shipping included.

Both are official sponsors/vendors on the forums here.

The big diff between the H&R vs ACS is the drop. Some folks, including myself, didn't want more than an inch of drop and opt for ACS over H&R. The ACS offer a more comfortable ride quality over the H&R too.

It comes down to personal preference.

Found another dealer that distributes ACS springs. Located in Las Vegas and offers free shipping. They quoted me a great price. Just gotta PM them.
