wanted to lower my regular 528..can i use eibachs or hr springs to lower it. i heard you cant lower it cause ill damage my stock shocks.

It WILL damage your stock struts. they are not designed to work at the lower profile that the Eibach's will lower the car too. Running BMW SPORT struts might help... Better yet just get some aftermarket struts. Then when you want to sell the car or put it back, you have the stock springs and struts. Trust me! CHANGE THE STRUTS WHEN LOWERING THE CAR!
