hey axis530, I saw you're looking for some eibach reference.
here's some pics of my ride. i am using eibach sportline kit. 2" drop at the front and 1.2" at the back.

oh, and my car is a sport model.
if u want to have a slammed look on your car, then sportline is your choice. if not, pro kit will do the job.
and ride is almost the same with your original sport suspension. a bit stiffer but it's not noticable, plus, we have 20" and low profile tire anyway.

Hey SNIKT21, thanks for the reply. Your car looks great. I already installed the Eibach Pro-kit. Although a lot of E60 members say that the appearance does not change much, I must say different. The front of my car has absolutely no gap. The rear has a sight gap. The car rides great and looks crazy on the road. I had my neighbor drive it for me while I watched. I do have 1 concern though. My right side front is a little lower than the left front. I will take it back to the shop so they can take a look and fix. The car was never involved in an accident, so chassis should be fine. Am I going too far with my thoughts or is this problem a minor fix? Do you know of some possible errors made while installing the springs that caused the right front to be lower than the left. Thanks , Steve.

Thanks Steve. I have that problem too and I was crazy trying to figure out what's going on. First I thought that the spring that causes the problem but after talking to other 5ers, they mentioned the same thing. and you can see various response from the latest thread about passenger side lower. Post some pics of the new lowered ride please.
