Hi guys, I'm actually new to this site. I would like to lower my car and i don't know which brand is good for lowering my car. Can anybody suggest to me ? Well i owned a 530i. My current wheels is 17" and probably im going to change to a 20" Zauber gettin wheels. It is a used one but i saw some1 use it on his E60 545i before. It looks gorgeous. Will it be a good idea for using a 20" wheel ? Will it affect the driving ?

Nice wheels.
I decided to buy the Eibach springs, several members of this forum recommended them as well as the wheel guy. The other option I was considering was the H&R springs.
BTW, welcome!!!

Most popular options are Eibach and H&R.
I'd talked to few of the e60 owners who has lowered their car w/ Eibach, few of them said they'd choose H&R if they can choose again....
The reason of it is mostly based on how it looks.

I have 20's with the eibach pro-kit springs. Ride quality is still smooth and comfortable, just feel the road a bit more. The e60 has a pretty big wheel well and in my opinion, 20's fit the car perfect. I've seen a few bmw's with those zauber wheels and they look clean. Enjoy and post some pics when you get the new wheels.
