View Full Version : Lowering a non sport - will it cause problems ?

I'm thinking of fitting the Eibach Pro kit to my Touring.

But I notice that the Sports aren't as low as the Pro kit yet have different wishbones etc presumably to keep the correct camber etc

So if I lower my car am I going to ruin the handling / wear out the inner edge of the tyres ?

Thanks

You'l have better handling. You may need to get wheel alignment to stop the wear out on tyres

Thanks, I understand the theory just don't understand why BMW would change so much for the Sport set up if its not required and I wasn't sure how much adjustability there is in the standard suspension.

You'll be fine. A little -ve camber helps with handling. Camber can still be adjusted on non sport models.
