I'm about to buy some lowering springs for my '88 535i and I was gonna go for eibach but I thought before i do so i'd better ask you guys for your opinion. I want a drop of around 40mm at the front and the same or a bit less at the back. In everyone's experience, which are the best to go for (value for money)? Bear in mind the car's on 17's with 235's. Also where can i get hold of some hubcentric rings? Thanks guys.

Below are some pics of the 525im with eibach pro-kit and new Boge autos all around. Quite happy with the ride and appearance. On 15"s the ride is a little harder than stock but not even remotely uncomfortable (in the 'things are falling off' sense) The 215/60/15s are a bit (0.5") smaller in radius than the stock size, so you should see even less wheel well with a stock 17" set-up.
