Hi all, I bought VMR V710 19" a while ago for my 525i 2004. Lately I was using my stock wheels and just put bk the VMRs yesterday.

I must lower my car to make it looks better, but I have no experince w/ these stuff.

I need ur advise for what I should buy, I dont want something cost me a lot. I dont wanna buy suspension but prefer something good for reasonable price.

whats ur advice and from where I could get the stuff?
ur help is highly appreciated. Thanx

My suggestion would be to go with the H&R sports or Eibach Prokits. Ideally you want to pair new springs up with new shocks as well because of the accelerated wear on OEM shocks will be an issue whilst running on aftermarket lowering springs. My suggestion would be the Koni Sport Shocks + H&R sports.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd like pricing or had any other questions

I would suggest looking through the forum and comparing the ride heights between the cars with just springs and then coilovers to find the height you are looking for, if you are happy with the height the spring kits offer then grea.t But also consider by the time you add up the cost of new springs and shocks you could easily pick up a used set of coil overs or a new set on ebay (although I have no knowledge of the quality of them personally) it would be worth while to due some research. Coil overs are height adjustable and therefor have a huge advantage as they can easily with only the tires removed be raised or lowered to your liking or to accommodate the roads, driveways, speed bumps etc. In your area.

Just from my experience... others don't have to agree.

Springs are a waste of money. The drop looks great... for a couple weeks. Then you'll find yourself wanting more (low). Then you'll start looking for aftermarket shocks or coilovers.

Buying springs and putting them on your stock suspension isn't great either in the long run. You're putting more load on them than they were designed for and will eventually have a blown shock(s).

My advice is the just spring for coilovers... they have cheaper option and can maintain your stock feel (or very close to it). Plus, it improves the handling of your car by a huge factor!

Konis are cheap BUT they are a pain to deal with if you want to raise/lower your car. You'll have to compress the spring to do it.

I had Konis and didn't care for them at all.
