Anyone lowered their facelift E63?

Thinking of lowering the E63 and maybe getting some 20's

BUT I don't want to ruin the ride so thought I'd get some opinions from anyone that's actually done it.

Cheers

Mine rides similar on 20s but not lowered someone local had his lowered on 20s and said it drove like crap but was on 20 profile and very low

Id be suprised if I'd even get away with lowering mine on the front with 30 profile on full lock

20 and 30 profile mean nothing unless you state the tyre widths also since those figures are percentages of the width.

For instance my standard tyres are 55 profile but I currently run 40 and 35 profiles. Are you any wiser as to what I mean?

Both run the the same 255-295

I used the same links on my W211. They work well. The owner of the company is very helpful when I needed some more rubber grommets.

Lowering links and h&r front springs

I plan on doing this and replacing both top mounts at the same time as they seem to be a common wearing point.
I'll be doing this next few weeks.


Then move onto 20s

Behave and leave it alone.
