I used to live in sai kung! well, i am guessing thats what you wrote because i cant read chinese!! ha ha!
I find right now my setup is too stiff and bounces when going round corners on uneven surfaces - it feels like its going to hop all over the place! i was thinking about getting same set up as Keith with the Eibach and Koni fsd, but i cannot lower the car enough with that set up.... Coilovers may be the only solution! How much did you pay for your PSS9?
Just checked Sachs homepage and they dont have coilovers for E60?

Eibach have two series; Pro-kit and Sportline. You can try Eibach Sportline + Koni FSD.
Pro-kit - Avg Low 1.2"F 1.2"R
Sportline - Avg Low 2"F 2"R

Ricky - Thanks! This will be a much cheaper solution, right? I just got a quote for KW coilovers and they are similar price to Bilstein PSS10 without the remote height adjuster. I am very tempted to place an order!!

My Ride: '08 530i Luxury LCI
from my experience, NT roads are better than Kowloon's, and Kowloon's are better than HKI. Try go to ?? and you will know what I mean...
good thing about coilover is, you adjust it to fit your driving style but it would take some time to make all the adjustments...
my 335 with PSS9 for instance, it was good for fast or high speed corners on good surface, but sucks on TMS as it was just too stiff and the car would become very unforgiving when the road becomes a little bumpy...
but on the other hand, I love the ride height where all 4 wheels looked like they are "IN" the fenders and with some -ve camber ...
Cheers,
Mike

Ha! I have paid the consequences and have had extreme excessive tire wear near the innter tyre wall. Just replaced tyres and have done wheel alignment.
Just spoke to some people and they are of the opinion that the reason for my harsh ride is because I am running on H&R. If i just replace my springs to Eibach, then it shouldnt be as harsh! May try that first... before splashing out on coilovers etc... if that solves the problem then i have spare $$$ for new rims
