I've seen 124s with spacers and stock sport ride-height and it still looks unbelievable - especially, when its next to another e60 on 124s, when you can really see the diff. Great investment, Craig. Rogue Engineering FTW BTW

I had 10mm spacers on all 4 corners of my 550i with 124's and it looked great, though I would have put 15mm's on the rear if I could do it again.

yeah, the rear needs more than the front.

While you're at it, consider painting your 124 graphite - there was a thread with a DIY about it recently (I'm sure you've seen it, so excuse me for not searching for a link, but if you haven't, let me know, I'll find it ). I've gotta say, it looked really great

for the 124s we've put 5mm in front and 15mm in the rear before.
Does this require longer bolts? Is everything tight and concentric?

How much$$?

what is the cost for the spacers? I cant believe i mentioned a mod and no PM from Nerweezy!

I need new front tires anyway and I have some pretty bad curb rash, so the wheels have to come off. I wonder what powdercoating the wheels would cost and how long it would take...
