I learned that the second day after lowering mine, got lucky and everything poped back together. I dont pull that far up anymore :D
E34 530

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.

Mine rubs, but mine also dropped 2.5" in the front. My fronts measure in at 24.75" with 245-40/18's. Only rubs turning right off my street into my driveway. RF catches the lip of the fender. Once I put the 9mm pads back in I should be fine.

Where did you all get the Vogtland springs? What shocks are you all running with them?

Mine is lowered and has a crack in the front lower lip from the PO. bavarian autosport sells a front spoiler that would cover it up and maintain structural integrity for $200, i am contemlpating buying one next summer if it doesnt get fixed before then bacause it would enhance the appearance while repairing the damage.

Peter (PMLMotorsports on here) sells them. I'm running stock for the time being.
