My friend and I are going to install the eibach prokit on my 530i soon here. We are renting a heavy duty spring compressor and he has done multiple lowerings and lifts before. We have all the air tools we need. I have been doing research on how to do it thanks in part to this forum.

I will be documenting this as we are doing to help others attempt it as well. If anybody who has done this before wants to chime in and give me some more tips I would appreciate that.

What kind of complications did you run into? I once did it on a E36 3 series, wasn`t so hard, was thinking of doing it myself again........................ but.... well I don`t know...
