I have a set of H&R Coilover suspension. Someone told me it's not for e60 with the Sport package and Anti-Roll Stabilization.

Can anyone with H&R coilovers confirm if this is not true. Thanks in advance.

Tirerack had a listing with Sport package, but no part number. Turner had them listed also with no mention of ARS or sport package. There is one part number and the coilovers pictured look the same. here is a link. http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detai...RODUCT_ID=50461

So, does the H&R kit work with ARS? How's the ride & handling?

Is that a supercharger strapped onto the GT 500? Yikes.

I'm sorry to report that the result is not satisfactory. After driving the car with the H&R coilovers for 3 days, I have decided that this is not what I want. The ride is too harsh and annoying. It does not feel like the ultimate driving machine that it was before the drop. I guess the coilover is meant for a 525i/530i and not for a 545i. Now I have to order the same 12mm wheel spacers (sold to VT) or maybe even go for a pair of 15mm
. I guess I have to contend with the wheel-fender gap similar to the M5 pictured below, which is not a bad thing right?
