My car is going in to dealer for retrofitting next week.
I?ve sort of asked this question before but perhaps someone has some new info (TIS etc?)
Does anybody have the exact specs on the sport suspension (stiffer suspension and shorter springs I guess - but how to be sure it?s factory specs). My matter is a bit more complicated as the car is an e61 and as the sales guy says that they only have to "lower the front 15mm" as the touring has autolevelling rear suspension.
I know nothing on these matters but wouldn?t they need to adjust something in the rear also?
The steering wheel should be obvious I hope <_<

best

I've read something too about the autolevelling of the E61. It is possible to order sportsuspension with the E61 so I think they should order the kit for lowering the E61 and not the E60. I bet they probably did that. I'm curious how it will look on your car.
