B12 Kit Installed - Short Review
A while back I got a set of B12's (Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs) for my 2007 530D.
I had already installed an Eibach sway bar set. Last week I installed them over a couple of nights. I followed RIZBEL's DIY for the fronts and Pelican Parts for the rear - thank you to both. https://5series.net/forums/diy-do-yo...install-85378/ BMW 5-Series 530i E60 (2003-2010) - Replacing the Rear Shocks - Pelican Parts Technical Article Only things I would mention are
Caveat - I am no track star and have no experience with coil-overs etc etc. On the road the car puts a bit more noise into the cabin on the bumps but nothing too bad. The handling really is really amazing now. Completely stuck to the road on many corners where it used to lift pretty badly. Body roll very minimal. Steering much more responsive. Car is a bit lower (didn't measure the before + after) but that is not why I did this. If you have a tight budget but want better handling then these are worth a look - especially if your OEM's are at the end of their useful life. Cheers |
