Hi All-
I'm new to this forum and I looking for input from anyone who has lowered their E60 with the Eibach Pro Kit or if you have any input on other lowering options. I would like to know what you think of the overall ride quality. I have MMR GT1 wheels 18x8.5(F) and 18x9.5? with Yokohama ES100's. 40 & 35 series respectively. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

Lowered mine with Eibach springs over two years ago. I don't even notice the difference anymore, the car seems normal to me. I also have 18s (18X8.5 and 18X10), no rubbing experienced. I do not have the sports package.

Have any of you experienced camber issues with lowering your car. I had a problem with excess negative camber on my Audi A6 with a Eibach pro Kit that could not be dialed out in an alignment. It became a tire wear issue. Looking for feedback plz.
