Hi,

I have an 06' 525i NON-sport and I want to lower the car.

My car is currently way lower in the front than it is in back (2 finger vs 3 finger gap). I would love to even this out without having to spend the $$$ on coilovers. I've found that the Eibach Pro Kit springs would lower 1.2" Fr and Bk (this would not solve the problem) and the H&R sports would worsen the problem as it actually lowers the front more than the rear.

Does anyone have any helpful advice aside from coilovers? I read something about M5 suspension links lowering the rear further? Whats involved with this? I have no clue what they are talking about.

Thanks in advance

in my opinion i have h&R sport springs with koni yellows it's amazing
the ride is very comfortable and it sits well, not to slammed and not to high,sits perfect about a pinky gap from wheel to fender plus you can always adjust the stiffness of the ride the koni yellows come with a knob so u can adjust it the way you want it good luck on your search

Unless you current spring set up is failing it shouldn't be that much lower from front to back. May be by switching to Eibach, it would even out more. Btw I thought pro kit only lowers .75 inch and sport lowers 1".
