Need help guys ... i got a 05 545i and im thinking about dropping the car but i dont know what brand of springs to get. The road here in NY is bad im looking for a set of springs that rides like stock, i dont like the bum-be(stiff) ride that's why im not getting coil overs.Let me know hows your ride and what brand of springs... thank you in advance...

You can't go wrong with Eibach or H&R. All depends how much you want to lower your car.

Eibach 1.2"/1.2"
H&R 1.3"/1.2"

If you're on sport suspension already, the drop height will be slightly different (not as low).

Thank you for the reply

Do you know which one rides better my friend has the H&R on his E90 and it was pretty stiff...

That I don't know. Since the springs are progressive instead of linear, they don't have spring rates listed.

bad roads and lower car = more damage

From what I heard is that the H&Rs are stiffer then Eibach even though the Eibach's are a bit stiffer than stock (non-sport).

Save more and get the coilovers Cause no one knows where you'll be driving your e60 I Lowered my car before so when I reached home I damaged my lip cause my garage is lit bit high so I had to change back to stock springs again

And maybe you'll buy a lip for your bumper in future so I'll choose coils for adjusting height to go lower or higher at any time I want

go with eibachs...i lowered my e60 with H&R as well as my brother and to be honest the ride is still pretty smooth..however i lowered my 6 series with eibachs and i didnt feel much difference compared to my stock with run flats
