Just got her lowered today with the Eibach Pro-Kit and also added some 12mm rear wheel spacers. All in all, I am happy with the drop, but hope the springs settle a little bit more. Here are some pics for your enjoyment.
And a couple of her predecessor (sorry, taken with an old cell phone.)

Car looks great!
This may be a dumb question, but does lowering it with a kit like Eibach have any impact on the sport package's dynamic stability control? I have been hesitant to consider messing with the suspension at all becuase of the sport package on my car. thx

Looks great! Here's what I NEED to know, since I am dropping my M5 on Monday with Eibach's. Did you get involved enough with the installation to know if the installer cut the bump stops or not. Usually, they won't tell you unless you ask. I have an idea that I will indeed need to cut them about an inch in front and 0.5" in the rear, but I am trying everywhere to get some input on the RWD cars that have been dropped.
Thanks in advance.
