Hi and welcome,

I have just lowered my 340i on Eibach lowering springs with eibach spacers (12mm front, 15mm rear).

Everyone will rave about ACS springs (Made by Eibach) and their "Warranty", however I could not justify paying more than 2x the price of Eibach springs just to have the ACS ones.

I find ride comfortable (Quite stiff in sport (With adaptive dampers)).

Best place I found to buy the whole lot from (Apart from longer bolts) was Autodoc.
Keep an eye out as their "discount" changes daily. Most I have seen online was 24%, although this is rare.
Also, the Autodoc mobile app always seems to be 2% more discount than the website, so wait for website to have 22%, then just use the app.

Spacers were around £50 per pair and Springs were £140.

15mm Spacer:

Yes Eibach do make the ACS but the ACS are actually different. A trade agreement means Eibach cannot make their own springs to ACS specification. Am I right Lorcan ?

The thing is I bought one (rear) diffuser of a guy on eBay but it didn't fit, it was short so it was sent back even though it stated 330d msport
Touring and got a refund,
