Has anyone done a suspension mod on a 530xi? I want to lower my 530xi Sport about .5 - 1 inch. I've been searching on a lot of postings, but most I found hadn't made any changes. I'm looking for that 1 person who has! 
I noticed on TireRack that they sell H&R coil overs that they "say" will fit our car, but I'm curious to know if any member has yet to do this. If so, I would appreciate any info...and pix of course!
Thx!

Always consider there is an extra cardan in front of x-drive cars that may become damaged when hitting something "low" onto the ground...

u-joint
H&R has a set. I'm strongly considering doing it. I'm sure a lot of owners on this forum would appreciate it if I become the test dummy for this.
