Koni FSD is the most comfy but my Bilstein SP struts with VOgtland Springs rides BETTER than stock. Love it!

I wanted to alter the ride height and wanted a little stiffer ride than OE sport so I chose H&R Sport.

The OE Sport springs was about 23K miles so I don't think the springs wore out that fast.

I had Koni Yellow ready when I was doing the install but found out rear adjustment of Koni Yellow for E60 is inside the strut.

So I decided to just put the stock struts back to feel how H&R Sport feel w/ stock struts and wait till about 60K to change to Bilstein Sport
