How much are you all paying to get your lowering springs installed?

Any good shops in LA you recommend?

Do you have any pics of yours lowered on H&R. For some reason, there aren't many pics out there.

I would highly recommend the HR springs. The drop is perfect (IMO) and the ride quality does not get compromised.

My previous car was an E class with AirMatic. I was able to hack the air suspension and lowered it to my liking. Loved the drop and ride quality. The HR springs provide a similar experience. I was prepared to reverse the drop and go with full coil-overs if the ride quality suffered.

I would recommend them

Here are pictures of how low E class was

Sorry for the sideways pictures.

All of these great looking black wheels. Why can't BMW offer a black wheel option for the M550?

Lowered on MSS Soorts Fully Adjustable kit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The ride is comfortable for normal driving and sporty as heck for spirited driving. The best of both worlds at a third the price of coilovers.

Car looks great! i'm trying to find the exact Eibach pro kit for my car and can't find it on their site. When you get a chance can you please share the part number.
Thanks.

How do just springs do to eliminate the body roll when cornering??

When I drive an offramp at about 7/10ths - the car is totally flat and feels greet. as soon as I go harder than that and really turn Hard I feel the body lean way over. I'd like to kill thet and have flatter cornering.

Hi,
Could you write which product number your eibach are? Because in their catalogue there are no springs for 530e:/

Niece

The Eibachs just do their thing! Do you happen to have any photos from the back side, to check the "fitment flushness"?

I was hoping to run a 21x9 255/35/21 and 21x10.5 295/30/21 + Eibach Pro kit on my 540i xDrive, and they should look kind off similar to your build.

Wow those v3s look hot but I'm glad I didn't get them

Hong Kong roads are way too steep and shit for that ride height

Has anyone done this on a non M Sport model? I'm looking at the Dinan product for 540 and don't have an M sport.
