Eibach E2059-140 replaces the original springs on the BMW M3 3.2 (E36) applications listed below. This four-spring Pro-Kit provides a fixed reduction in ride height while retaining the existing dampers, subject to their condition and the fitting document.
Lowering and axle limits
- Front lowering: approximately 25 mm
- Rear lowering: approximately 15 mm
- Maximum permitted front axle load: 920 kg
- Maximum permitted rear axle load: 1130 kg
These are the current Eibach catalogue lowering figures for the listed applications. Actual ride height varies with original suspension, equipment and vehicle tolerances. Any existing factory lowering reduces the additional drop. This is a fixed spring kit; ride height is not adjustable.
