Please help me...I've searched until my eyes started bleeding

Hi,

I have an 06' 525i NON-sport and I want to lower the car.

My car is currently way lower in the front than it is in back (2 finger vs 3 finger gap). I would love to even this out without having to spend the $$$ on coilovers. I've found that the Eibach Pro Kit springs would lower 1.2" Fr and Bk (this would not solve the problem) and the H&R sports would worsen the problem as it actually lowers the front more than the rear.

Does anyone have any helpful advice aside from coilovers? I read something about M5 suspension links lowering the rear further? Whats involved with this? I have no clue what they are talking about.

Thanks in advance

Actually, if you want a more even drop then the H&R's are the way to go. Disregard thier measurements. The Eibachs have a rake to them the H&R's level the rear out with the front. Trust me, I know. If you want more confirmation, visit e60.net...

I have H&R sport and my car is level. medik13 is right, eibach has rake and H&R does not. If you want even lower than the H&R sport then maybe try the H&R race. I have the H&R sport with the bilstien shocks/struts and I love the combo.
