I found a set of intrax lowering springs online for about 250 bucks. Front drop is 1.4 and rear is 1.2 lower. I wanted 2 know if anyone has tried these. I have a545i w/sport suspension. What would the actual drop #s be? Whats the best lowering spring with the most drop without needing a camber adjustment kit?Thanks.

For that price, why not go with H&R or Eibach? A bit more but proven.

Have to agree with that, H&R and Eibach are IMO the way to go. Springs themselves are so affordable that there is no reason to skimp.

same question here, i like eibach but dont like that fact the back looks stock On sports suspension the problem is the back not the front, the front is already pretty much slammed stock.
