My Ride: 05 530I
Default Suspension help.

Hey guys! I have a 2005 530I, and I have it lowered on H&R springs. I have the factory struts and shocks still, my question is, I want to go back with OEM shocks and struts. That being said, my dad has a parts supplier and they have two different kinds of shocks and struts. Should I get the ones for the regular sports suspension, or the ones for the m sport suspension? Whats the difference? The old shocks are getting pretty worn out and the bumps are getting bumpier haha. This is what my car looks like as of now. Name:  IMG_0141-1_zps32207ace.jpg

Maybe you should match the spring with a better shock combo other than the factory/OEM shocks. I'm pretty sure the H&Rs have a higher spring rate than the OEM/factory springs, thus leading to wear out your OEM/factory shocks faster. Correct me if i'm wrong guys. thanks
