Eibachs?

I was just informed (BAVAUTO.COM) that Eibach is no longer making springs for the X5.......Something about they are not happy with the vehicle geometry after the springs are installed. Does anyone have a line on another spring kit, or where there may be some Eibachs in stock? I gotta get the X closer to the ground.......

Tirerack is saying there is a seperate listing for 4.6 and 4.4. H&R doesn't make springs for 4.6.......

which model do you have? 3.0? 4.4? 4.6? With our w.o air suspension? According to my Eibach dealer page, they still offer Part#2076.140 for the 3.0 w/o Air Suspension. If you can get me a part number, I can probably double-check for you to see if it's still offered.

GiRARDsays: Its a 4.6is and I was searching for the part # you listed.

the head: H&R informed me that part number 29378-1 is the same for 4.4 and 4.6is, so I ordered the springs from them.......

Thanks guys
