2023 530e lowered with Eibach springs
Got my car lowered with eibach springs SKU: E10-20-038-01-22. I hope the rear sits a tiny bit lower, but overall happy with results. Adding some before and after.

I assume your car is RWD?

Was the installation a very invasive one for the rear springs?…I want to have MSS( HAS) kit installed to my vehicle, but concern with removing backseat, rear deck, linings, etc. Did the shop put back everything in a proper order?

Are you sure you don't just need to pull the trunk lining? I'm not certain about the G30, but for my E90 the rear shock hat was accessible through the trunk and not the interior/rear seats.

My understanding is that the G30 install is pretty involved where rear seating, deck and partial trunk linings will need to be removed during the install in order to access the rear suspension components. Whereas F80, G80 and other series alikes are pretty straightforward install due to easy rear access. At the end of the day, I am not totally comfortable with these items removed during the install.

Edit: The part number you posted shows these springs work for both the 540i, 530i xdrive and 530e. Interesting the drop looks so good but the Edrive is much heavier so I would assume it wouldn't work. Last edited by Volasko; 02-03-2023 at 12:55 PM.. |

I'm really curious for your take on how the ride quality has changed. I hate the 4x4 look of the x-drive but I do enjoy the ride quality (at least on my 19" winter setup). I had pro-kit springs on my E90 with Koni yellows and I was a fan of how it drove. Curious to know how that translates to the heavy 530e.
