    Can you post part numbers please?

    Thanks.

    Are you reading the number from the actual spring, or the box? If it's the proper spring, you have no chioce but to wait it out and hope they settle. Good luck !!!

    You might have the springs for 540i... I have Eibach with Koni Sport setup and it drops 1.25" in the front and 0.75" in the back for 525i.

The front is still way too high and the rear sits down nicely.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    At least it handles better...
