My Ride: 08 LCI 535i sport M5 umnitza full kit, Maya RM 1 245/35/20 20x9 et16, 275/30/20 20x10.5 et17, Future mods- KW coilovers V3 and StopTech brake

The aftermarket lowering springs for the e60 525i, 530i, LCI 528i and 535i are the same. The spring rate for the 545i and 550i are different though. To get the ride and handling closest to stock sport would be to go with coilovers and cambering kit for best traction. Depending on your cars make and mileage, the dampening of the original shocks might not perform as well with the increase load.. It's a tough decision to make without compromising handling and ride quality.
