Thanks for al the nice comments

Pro kit is higher than the Sportline. I bought the sportline because of the increased drop.

?160 for the springs. Nil to install I do all my own work. Took about 5 hours pretty easy really, but I do have a 4 post ramp

Rims are well scuffed and they are only 5 months or so old. It is very tight to get my car up the back of my house and I keep hitting the wheels on the wall :thumbsdown: cant even blame the wife.

Wheels are gunmetal. Looks like they have a black undercoat with silver sprayed on the top give the gunmetal look. They were very smart when new.

9.5" all round, you need 5mm spacers on the front to clear the strut, apart from that no rubbing.

I would like it lower but for ?160 this is a very good mod and the car looks 100% better for it.

WOW that is low. Did you just take one coil off each spring?

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Looks good, good choice on springs, I wonder how much more they will settle? I remember putting some H&R sport springs on my integra back in the day and I loved the feel of them after I put them on, it just completely changes the way the car feels when driving.
