Eibach doesn't make "xi" specific springs, but they are compatible with our xi cars and there are a number of peeps running them.

I got them installed about a week ago with the Bilstein Sport shocks that are made for Xis and I love them. Check out my thread with my first impression.

I've heard good things about them to start but members say that the ride gets increasingly harsher over time

That's probably the OEM shocks going bad over time, you need to pair them up with some Bilstein shocks

+1 if you felt how soft the stock shocks were, you would never want to pair any stiffer springs with them.

i notice there are 2 kinds of eibach pro kit for i spec.
one is for 325/328/330 and the part # is 2085.140
another one is for 335 and the part # is 2092.140
which one should i get for my e90 328 xi ? the one for 335i? since the weight of 328xi and 335i is almost the same.
and will these two give me the same drop? fr 1.2" and r 1.0" ?
