you may have to roll the rear lip in and the front should fit fine

Bringing this thread back.

I was about to order H & R race springs today for my 328is then I remembered this thread. The H & R set is a lot more of a drop than 1.2". Your car hugs those tires.

Anyone have input? I could always go with the sport setup.

How was the ride quality after that?

I assume you are still on stock springs?

lowering especially cutting coils your going to need new shocks the stockers are not going to hack it. look into kyb's i ran them on the 528 lowered about 3 front 2.5 rear the car rode great.

bye the way car looks great even with the over sized tires insead of going thinner i'd go smaller side wall
