lowering suspension

[Fraz06]

Hey guys, Im looking for some advice, i've got a 89 520i and want to lower the suspension by 40mm at the rear of the car using lowering springs with the original shocks and 60mm at the front using lowering springs with shortened shock absorbers, would this look ok and be ok to do ?

thanx guys

You should specify what springs and shocks you are considering.

well alot of people will tell you straight off the bat that using stock shocks with lowering springs is a big no no

I'm using Eibach lowering springs and stock shocks and the ride is unbelievable. It's the perfect balance of ride comfort and handling. I don't see the problem

Same here, eibach/stock shocks. Mind you, I bought new Boges, but have nothing bad to say about the set-up. No bottoming out...............ever.
