Eibach Pro Kit drop is only 1 in front and 0.8in rear.

Alpina B7 drops is only 0.6in front and 0.4in rear, but I don't think Alpina sells their springs for regular BMW owner.
this copy and paste is from Alpina B7 review :
http://www.insideline.com/bmw/alpina...rst-drive.html
The suspension's coil springs have different rates than the stock 7 Series and the ride height is 0.6 inch lower in front and 0.4 inch in the rear.



so far I had NOT find any tuner/suspension company that sells (shocks and springs) kits for the new 7 Series.
so I think there are no shocks available for new 7 series yet...
if anybody have any info regarding aftermarket
performance shocks for the new 7 series please post here.

Oh by the way, the only company that I knew
change the damping value of the shocks is
Alpina for their Alpina B7.

Hamman, Hartge, ACS, RDsport, do not have
any replacement shocks only springs...

Although I am sure if you have no limit with your budget, you can always custom
install Moton or Ohlin (or other exotic racing shocks) and used it for 7 Series...
