my m5 looks like a monster truck next to my 530i sport package. big difference in ride height from the factory. yes you would be even lower..

Not much depending on where you buy them. I've seen Eibach's as low as $279 + shipping and I've seen H&R's as low as $299 + shipping.
In this case price should be a non-factor. You should ask yourself do you want a close to stock ride or do you want an even stiffer ride than you have now.

HATE that the front sits higher then the back on my stock setup!

Definitely go with Eibachs for a nice look and not too harsh.
Just done mine and it looks good me thinks. Have settled a little since these pics:

Can you let us know where you have seen the Eibach's and H&R's for this price???

thanks, Eurocarfan! why does he have 30 up front and 25 in the back. I thought people run 35 up front and 30 in the back for 20 inch wheels. I am actually leaning towards Rennen Concave 8 right now.
Interestingly, on this forum people like Eibach, but on the other forum, people like H and R springs. Still can't decide on which one. Plus I sat on someone else's M5 with H&R and they aren't that stiff. And 2 other mechanics do recommend H&R and said H&R is softer the Eibach.
Who actually had both before?
Thanks everyone!
