Anyone with lowering springs on stock 664m 19s could share pictures of their fitment? Trying to see how it looks. Im considering Dinan or H&R but I think H&R will be too much of a drop. Thank you!

Have a look at this post: https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=13

664M rims and Eibach Prokit springs – can fully recommend this combination.

Looks good! Do you know how much was the drop? Seems like less than an inch. Also did you install it yourself?

Here is a link to the manufacturers website: https://eibach.com/products/pro-kit

I had the springs installed in a workshop, I didn't it myself because I drive the G31 with air suspension on the rear axle (the rear axle is lowered electronically).

Just a few days ago I measured the exact height from the wheel hub to the bottom edge of the fender: Front axle = 355mm (14in), rear axle = 365mm (14,4in).

You need to be mindful that when lowering more than about a cm or so, you may be compromising the suspension in some ways. Bump steer and other issues are common when lowering unless going for a package that makes all the requisite part changes.

Critical is matching dampers to shocks. Most AM springs are going to pair poorly with stock dampers. I would change out both at the same time with a matched set.

I have H&R springs and in addition I installed wheel spacers. IMO it’s a near perfect fitment. No rub nor scrape. Looks aggressive and turns heads.

Sorry to bring up an old post but this is exactly what I am going for! What size spacers are you using? Great looking car!
