Eibach Pro-Kit vs. H&R Sport
OK, so I've decided to replace the springs on my 135i. I have no prior experience with lowering, therefore its hard for me to decide between vendors. Any thoughts on Eibach Pro-Kit vs. H&R Sport?

That sure makes for an economical drop, alright. I'm curious to see if the OE dampers can hold up to the higher spring rates over time.

They worked pretty well for a couple years on my e90, with stock dampers and H&R Sports. The rates are fairly close to stock.
With the amount my car is dropped, I can't imagine what the "Super Sport" version would do... |

I was very happy with my H&R/Bilstein setup on my R32. I will probably upgrade the 135 to something similar. I notice that the rear end gets a bit unsettled for my liking at times and almost floats. dont like that feeling one bit.

Both are great, but H&R (as far as I'm concerned) are the only ones available now. We've used them a lot and they always make for a nice drop for a nice price, and they ride great.
If you want to go H&R Super Sport, yuo should definitely consider changing out your shocks at the same time so you don't have to pay for install twice. With regular H&R Sports, you should be fine with your OE sport shocks! |

We carry both and have had success with both setups. They are very comparable in terms of amount of drop and ride quality. I am partial to the H&R Sports because I have had more experience with them but I wouldn't discount the Eibachs in any way.
