lowering questions...

IF I purchase springs like the Eibach sport springs to lower my R56 S w/ sport package will I have to change anything else? Can I simply have the springs installed and have a tire company align my front end? What is this talk of camber and stuff. I just want a SAFE low ride, and I do not want any odd tire wear-out of the deal.

It depends on how low the springs drop the car . You will get a bit more negative camber front and rear but the key is how much . At most you may get a bit more aggressive inner rear tire wear . As the back of the car is relatively lite and does not do a lot of work it should not be much of a problem. The best thing to do is to search others that have your set up and see how they made out over time .
