Wow totally forgot about this thread. I should mention that I've been on the Godspeed coilovers for maybe 2 years coming up? Wish I had done them from the start. A shocking difference (Haha) , although I'm still on the softest dampener.. and the car is pretty darned low to the ground.

Adonnan, you kinda dug this one up from the dead. Glad you did though, your E61 looks very nice.
The one I'm getting in a couple days has the ugly and porky (to me) Style 243 wheels so a change of shoes is in order.
I'm liking yours a lot.

Can guys post pictures of your front drive axles and a picture from the side? I want to see the angle of the axle compared to ride height.

No issues to report except a sub-par ride quality. Well, rides great on the interstate but any pothole and good luck. I'm going to upsize tires just a little bit to see if that helps before I look into different springs/struts.

H&R springs in the front. Bilstein B8 struts. Custom longer endlinks to keep front swaybar in the right place. Amazing for highway cruising, but awful for city / backroad driving. I went looking for Eibach or an OEM E60 Sport spring, but didn't find many sources. Would consider selling them with low miles added if you're anywhere near South Carolina.
what end links did you use? I have same setup with stock end links and its hitting driveshaft on every bigger hole🙄
thanks.
