As soon as Nerweezy sends me my 12mm spacers for my M5-offset 166s 
I'm having my 04 530 dropped with H&R sports - and not replacing the shocks. I've only got 31k miles on them, and since I'm getting my 30k Service done at the same time (not to mention repairing the parking brake - which went out a few weeks ago and may or may not cost a few hundred more depending on what caused it to break), getting shocks as well right now would break the bank for me! I'll settle for another 20k or so on the stock shocks until replacing them.

i am on about 95000km. went with the prokit in the last 10000km, felt abit unstable going through corners or speedhumps (at 15km/hr!) so i had to change the shocks. makes big difference!
