I got mine (Eiback pro-kit) mid summer from NOPI at a great price, you might search them as well.

Question:
Do the Eibach springs allow the Bilstein HD shocks proper fit and performance? Much has been written about the Bilstein Sport B8 shocks' shorter length fitting and performing better.
I' m interested in firming up my 2014 x3 chassis.

It's been about a year since this last post, how is the set up working for you? Are you still liking the performance?

Thanks!

After looking at all the options from coil-overs to separate spring and stock setups, I decided to go with the Eibach Pro Kit and Bilstein HD setup. I wanted something that slightly lowered the car, but not too low because of all the driveways and parking lots I have to go in and out of here, and I wanted to keep the firm ride but get rid of the harshness whenever my car approached anything that wasn't a smooth surface.

Well I got it installed last night, so this post will just be initial impressions, and I'll make sure to update it after a few weeks and/or few hundred miles of driving. All I can say is WOW, this was exactly what I was looking for! The ride is still firm, the harshness has gone away, the car just feels more balanced on turn in, and everything just feels more planted. Of course the ride height looks sweet now, but I'll have to report back after I try to go in and out of a few driveways here to see if I start scraping plastic bits.

Thanks to Mike (dorifto88) for the deal on the springs and to Turner Motorsport for the Bilsteins!
