Does Eibach or H&R make a 2" drop springs? If so would it do more harm than good for tire wear? Will schocks be damaged or need change really fast?
So many questions???????

My Ride: 2005 545i (SMG)
Titanium Gray
Black Interior, Anthracite Trim
M-tech kit
Sport Package
Premium Sound
Satellite Radio
Active Cruise
Comfort Seats
Navigation
Folding rear seats
I'm in good shape. 5' 8" tall, 178 lbs. I lift weights every day, play ice hockey, lacrosse, and golf.
Anyway.... every time I get into my 545i, the suspension creaks... as if I weighed 300 lbs. and the car were saying.... "No More!!!"
I just have the OEM sport package. When I look at the car, I wish it were about 1 inch lower. 2 inches might be too low.

Good to know you folks are in good shape lol
Anyhow, i don't have the sport package so im assuming my car is somewhat higher than most with sports package im planning on putting some 20" wheels so im not sure if a 2 inch drop would be good or if it's even doable, would 1.2 be enough? Any pics? Opinions? Does Eibach even make springs that provide a 2 inch drop?

Nope Eibach doesn't make springs for a 2" drop only H&R Race has the 2" drop here's a pic of 2" drop on a 545.
here's a pic of 2" drop on a 545.Im assuming major rolling of my fenders would be needed, correct, i think that's krev's car, i wonder if he used Coilovers, i wonder if major tire wear would occur, im planning on putthing my 20 " wheels on them. so many questions, anyone with answers?

rjcastr, I have a question. If you're looking to setup your car with a lower, sportier look like many of us have done, why didn't you get the sport package? No insults here, I'm just curious.
