standard vs sports suspension; need new shocks
I have the 2004 530 with sport package. Is there a difference in the struts between standard and sports suspension or is it stiffer springs? What makes it the sports package with the suspension other than the tire/rim size?
Thanks
Thanks

Different springs with lower ride height is one difference. You need shocks designed for cars with lower ride height (Koni sports, Bilstein sports, etc).

I have the Bilstein b6 (just replaced my shocks last Friday). They are definitely worth the money IMHO.
