I have a 07 530i with stock suspension, just noticed the right rear wheel riding about 1 1/2 inch lower than the other side. With that, I'm getting more rubbing as well.
Is this a sign that my springs need to be replaced, or is it the shocks?
I really want coil-overs but not quite ready to blow that kind of money on something I know I'll be paying twice as much for in the location that I'm currently living. Unless someone is selling their used ones of course. I'll take em, if they're in my current budge.
Please PM me if you are...
So I'm hoping I can get away with replacing just the springs. Any recommendations for something lower and progressive? Racing springs are a consideration but I'm not too sure about them. I'm thinking it would ride pretty good with a heavy car like the e60.
Another issue I'm having is my lugs. I must have lost them when I switched from winter to my summer rims. So now I can't figure out what length to buy. I have ones that are too short, and then ones that are too long that only work with spacers, but then I get all sorts of rubbing. Would anybody know this off the top of your head? also a place to buy colored ones?
Currently riding with 20x8.5 +18 20x10 +25 wheels
TIA
