Here's mine after the drop:

What size are those wheels? I only ask becasue the car looks to high, even with lowering springs installed. I'm with everyone else in saying something doesn't look right. I have less gap on my factory sport package. Eibachs should drop the car about 1.2" on non sport and about another .5" (factory sport package is already .7" lower) on sport package equipped cars. Are they the right springs for your model?

hi all, these are photos of my e60 lowered on eibach prokit with the konis fsd shocks, im a bit disturbed, these pics were take a day after being lowered, is it normal for it to still look this high (especially the front driver side, 3rd pic)? and how long will it take to settle...?

thanks all, i agree with everyone that it is totally off. So from what i've researched, i come to the conclusion that there could be only 2 things wrong... 1. the shocks shop sold me the springs kit for the 545i model instead of my 525i ..... 2. the struts just arent tightened down enough....

what do you all say? whats more likely? THANKS!!!!

ahh, i just called the shocks shop that i bought the springs from, they told me they cannot confirm if the springs were actually made for 545i or 525i because it was a package with koni's, but they did tell me to get the eibach springs number directly fromt he springs so they could confirm it and if koni's happened to have packed it with the wrong springs, they will pay for the labor...

You may want to ask them for the part number for the Eibach/Koni FSD package. It should be:

530/525

Eibach/Koni FSD Part #: 2150-4007-1

Eibach Pro Kit (should be printed on your spring): Part #: 2077.140

545

Eibach/Koni FSD Part #: 2150-4007-2

Eibach Pro Kit (Should be printed on your spring): : Part #: 2078.140
