Most of the time i drive in 'sport'-modus, because in the other settings the springs are a little bit bumpy, especially when you take speed bumps with higher speed. I' am comparing with my earlier E60 530d with sport suspension. Also in sport-modus you have a sporty handling and balance, but i don't think there is much difference with the standard springs, so the ride comfort is also still ok.
Because the lowering is only 25mm, i don't have problems with scraping.
Conclusion: AC Schnitzer lower springs (or Eibach Pro-kit) are perfect.  |

Hmmm based on BMWMB description that
he need to put his suspension in Sports Mode to avoid the ride being bumpy show that
AC Schnitzer springs have much higher spring rate than the standard suspension.
So Samlambo,
perhaps it is best if you could e-mail AC Schnitzer and ask their Spring Rate,
then ask Eibach for their Spring Rate and compare them.
If Eibach have lower spring rate than AC Schnitzer then your ride should be not bumpy even if you left your suspension in normal mode.
If you could have their spring rate data,
please kindly post it here.
by the way, I also would recommend you to check with Hartge for their price and spring rate.
because Hartge's spring is 30mm (only a bit more lower than ACS),...
with Hartge, I think you can buy direct from them...
Thanks
