Eibach for 06'
 
Hello,

Has anyone installed the pro kit? Is it just simple remove oem and install eibach springs, wrap up n go?

Thanks

Yep.

Installed the Pro-Kit on my E53 last month and the mechanic did just that and took around two hours.

You'll love the lowered look especially if you're running larger rims!

Thanks, do you have any before and after pictures?

Here are the after pictures. Drops the X from around 5 fingers to 3 fingers. Ride doesn't feel much different but I was already on the Sports package springs from previously.

I love those wheels in 22's.. looks real good.

Thanks ImolaRed. I went for the BMW 168 design (seven spokes) as I thought it was elegant and yet aggressive (because it was in 22"s) at the same time (does that make sense?).

Also the lowered suspension totally changes the look of the X...no more "lifted" look. The Eibachs were also surpisingly good value at US$250!

Flared wheel arches (with rear diffuser) next!

Looks Great!!

I was just told to day by drivewire that Eibach doscontinued the PRo Kit fo my 2005. 4.4. I assume its the same for 2006.

THey gave me the choice for H&R but I decline and got a refund. Are those 22's staggered? they look Great!!

Once you get all that done that thing will look bad.. I usually like tinted windows but I'm liking the look of the clear on your X.

Ultimate 05-05-2009 09:05 PM

Thanks guys. Yep...staggered 9.5" 265/35/22s front and 11" 315/30/22s rear on ContiCross Contact UHPs. Was considering 335s for the rear but that would have been too much on my E53 and also the price for the tyres was much higher. Also 335s only available in Pirellis.

As for the clear glass, I personally like to have the windows down and also the panoramic roof all the way back on a cool sunny morning. Next best thing to a cabriolet really!
