Allo,

Just wondering if you people have any pictures of a stock e60 (non-sport) with the the Eibach Prokit (1.2 in / 0.6 in) springs installed. I want to lower my car but not more than 1.2 inches. Any suggestings?

actually the eibach pro-kits lower the non-sport e60 1.2" all around, not just in the front and 0.6" in the rear. if a sport e60, it would be about 0.5" all around. although with individual differences there are chances of the springs settling maybe lower.

I have been looking into these lowering springs for my SE, at what point is it necessary to replace the shocks as well as the springs?

The car is 4.5 years old and has done 60,000 miles, and plan to keep it for another 12 to 18 months.

My car is lowered on H&R sport which is similar if that helps.

I do not want it that low.. I was thinking about approx 0.7inches- 1 inch all around.. Are there any springs that will give me these results?

JMH,

I tried to send you a PM but stated it was disabled. But what size rims and tires do you have? I have a 545 with 20's and just bought eibach pro kit springs but afraid it might rub in the front or even in the back. Are yours rubbing? What do you think bout them, pros & cons? thanks!
