Spring question... IS springs on Xi

BMSe92 · 03-27-2012, 07:36 AM

Just picked up a set of IS spring from another member. I'm sure they're compatible with my XI being that many members here have installed Eibach sport springs for a 335i on their XI.
My question is... How much of a drop will this give me? It has to be decent I'm assuming, since seeing a 335i with sport package and an XI on the road, there's a very noticable ride height difference.

Oh, and no comments about my shocks wearing quicker... I really don't care. I'll replace them when need be.

Bump. Curious about this.

Bump here as well...

The 335is specifications show that the car is 1.4 inches shorter (height) than a 335i, however, I don't know how to check vs. 335i w/ZSP (sport package). Though I don't think the ZSP drops the car a full 1.4 inches, so maybe the 335is are even more aggressive.

It will drop the same amount as RWD sport package springs.

335is springs = ZSP springs

Both springs fit Xi

hope this helps
