Wanted: Eibach Pro for E91 330D

As title suggest, I am after Eibach pro for E91 330D. Let me know if somebody wants to move on or selling the car and have a set, before I pull the trigger and buy BNIB.

Because when you order from a UK seller most of the time they have to order them in from Germany anyway (which is why they usually take so long to deliver too, they get sent from Germany then to the UK seller then to you)
They are just middle men adding their profit to your total, hence its cheaper to get them straight from Germany.
Ive been doing it with H&R springs for years

Thanks.

Are you going for H&R on this?

Also, do you mind posting a photo of your car from the side? Just want to double check before order.

I've decided to keep the Eibach's as the ride is better.
The only reason I'd swap to H&R's is to get it a bit lower, but as I learnt on my Audi's they are usually a bit more bouncy and I don't want to go back to that.

Thanks Dest. Its perfect drop and not slammed!!!
My last E90 has Eibach sports and they are more like H&R. Once they settled, ride became bouncy and does not want to repeat that on E90.

I do not think rears will make any difference as it looks identical to OEM.

Plus I never worry about speed bumps and not had any rubbing in the rear with 3 people in the back.
Both of which were problems with H&R, especially the speed bumps!

Ordered these yesterday and seller informed me today that these springs are not in the stock and they would get them at the end of September.
He has offered me
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...e=STRK:MESE:IT

Which are more like H&R springs in terms of drop.

Also, tried few other sellers on German ebay and they all are saying that they will have to order it from Eibach.

I guess I will have to wait.

I've just ordered some for my e92 330d from the company below, not as cheap as German ebay but still a lot cheaper than any other British company I could find. Had 3 emails today saying they have been dispatched so will now see how long they take to arrive.

Ordered b12 pro kit from demon tweeks paid for next day delivery after they confirmed in stock and then received an email with an eta of the 18th of this month!

Was tempted to order from .de but as car going into a garage to get it all fitted I wanted to be sure I got the right stuff...

Thanks guys. I will wait for everything to arrive before it goes to the body shop. So it may take few months before I get the final look.

Whenever Ive ordered from Germany I've always got them in 1-3 days at the most usually by UPS, the sellers over there seem to be a lot more efficient than UK stores
