My Ride: 2004 545i, silver/grey style 124 wheels, breyton style front lip spoiler, rear acs style wing, 15mm spacers.
Default

I own a 2004 545i and would like to lower the car. i believe that its a sport, thus, it is lower than regular models?? My question is, if i install Eiback pro-kit springs which state they lower 1.2 all around, will the car come down an additional 1.2 inches?? i dont want more than a fingers worth of wheel well gap. Aslo, what size spacers to you recommend with M5 replica(166) wheels?

If you have the sport suspension the Eibach pro-kits will lower your car .5 front and rear, not the 1.2 thats for the non-sport suspension.

here's my thread when i had the pro-kit installed on my e60: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry430554 . somwhere in the middle of the pics i mention how much finger gap there is. as for spacers, it would depend on what the offsets of the wheels are. since they are replica M5 wheels, you would have to provide those numbers for us.

btw, welcome and enjoy the forums.
