That's a nice drop and definitely great choice on suspension.
how much did the set up cost you?

My Ride: Silver/Grey E60
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey guys... I'll have to post more pics of the rear tomorrow since I work nights.
The whole set up cost me 1173.00 parts and labor.
The best place to buy this kit (eibach and koni fsd in one box) is online at Shox.com. The kit on there is about $890.00. Most other online places sell it for $960.00 and the actuall Koni website sells the kit for 1200.00!
As far as comfort, the ride is very nice. Its very close to stock! I wouldn't say that the ride is worse or harsh just more sensitive to the road as in you get more driver feedback. I don't really have anything to compare it to except for my 98 Ford explorer that I lowered and that was horrible. I will say that the ride in my E60 lowered is a lot better than my friends Lexus, Acuras, Hondas that are lowered.

The ride on stright roads is nice.. I would say its almost like stock. On the turns its more responsive.
Of course you are going to feel the bumps in the road more then if it were stock height, you just feel more connected to the road.

Looks good, what's up with the shadowline trim install? Look even better after that, IMO...
