Eibach E20-20-014-01-22 replaces the original springs on the BMW 3 Series Saloon (E90) applications listed below. This four-spring Sportline provides a fixed reduction in ride height with compatible dampers. Eibach recommends sports dampers for Sportline springs; select dampers that meet the fitting certificate conditions.
Lowering and axle limits
- Front lowering: approximately 45-50 mm
- Rear lowering: approximately 35 mm
- Maximum permitted front axle load: 935 kg
- Maximum permitted rear axle load: 1085 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.
