    Here's my question for you guys that have lowered e34's. Do you guys rub on the fender's or the wheel well when turning hard? I am considering buying some vogtland lowering springs for my car but don't want to install them if I am always going to have rubbing problems. Thanks for the input.

    I used Vogtland springs and mine doesn't rub with 245-18's. I even used Billstein Touring and it may be the nicest ride I have driven. It is on par with my 2003 G35 infiniti for handleing and ride now.

    Good Luck! took me 6 hours with no lift or power tools by myself.
