yes it could! i love the slammed look but i just cant do it with this car cause its my everyday car
haha too solid we had a talk and you already know im getting a set of the 19inch M6 rims. still debating on the 19's or 20's tho.
and yes it was a very hard job. BMW has changed a lot with these newer models. but the backs are easier then fronts. but i can try to help anyone out if i could. too bad i didnt take pics while doing it.

Looks really good, but need some pics of the whole car. Have you found that with the prokit that the rear doesn't drop as much as the front (so you have that nose down look)?
Have been looking into spring options and not sure what the ride would be like on H&R springs...

Nice drop. Especially since you did it yourself! That's amazing. As others have said, really would like to see pic's of the whole car. Also, really need those 19" on. The M6 rims will make a HUGE difference.
That's a big risk to do that type of install yourself on your brand new '08 E60. Pretty cool Dude! 1+!

Yeah, I thought it would be. But then they do drop the car a tad bit more than the prokit though. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.
there is no thing on the market right now that can have both
