Intrigued. Not interested in the springs but interested on what you have replaced the springs with? I have a 535i with vdc and it feels it could do with a spring upgrade and I've been mulling over fitting the ACS springs....

Thanks

Hi,
I upgraded to the Eibach Pros. 2 reasons really, 1 for the looks, I put 20" wheels on and it just looked to high and 2 for the ride. Although the VDC is great it still felt to soft in the bends even on the sport (hard) setting.

The Eibachs being a progressive spring really did transform the car, on the flat on normal driving the ride really wasn't much difference but when throwing the car into a bend it was much more taught with much less roll plus it sat great on them.

I have since now sold the car.

Thanks ianF10 for your comments on your experience of the Eibach springs, really helpful and also the reasons why I am looking to upgrade.

Was going to say from your avatar that the 373s really suited your car.

No worries. I had them done at AMD Technik in Thurrock, it was £399, supply, fit and full laser alignment with printout

Yes it looked fantastic on those wheels
