I have the Koni FSD/ Eibach set up on my car which I purchased from tire rack also. I have had no issues at all with bottoming out. Where they installed correctly?

 

I am starting to think about that. I have to say, here in the UK, I have not really heard of any issues with lowering the E60. I know in the States you do not have the diesel models, but wonder if the other variants have a slightly different suspension setup (shorter shocks, etc)?

 

i dont have any problems with my lowered e60 but living in the uk there is no way i would use H & R are roads here in the uk are to shit and eibachs offer a better comprimise, there shouldnt be any problems with them bottoming out.

 

H&Rs aren't a problem Kav, if you match them to the right shocks...

 

Koni FSD used be sold as they are on Tirerack, and now they are sold with Eibach springs together as a package. On the Koni website they are also showing the package of FSD with Eibach.

 

I found out why I'm bottoming out!! I checked the Koni/Eibach box and it was labeled for the 550i. Checked the part # on the eibach springs and found it was for the 550i. Checked the FSD shocks and found out it was for a 530i. Next, I found out that Koni does not offer a FSD application for the 550i.

After I told Tirerack of this the FSD/Eibach kit for 550i was removed from their site, LOL. So, this setup is coming off and getting shipped back to Tirerack (they let me send it back after 4 months whew!!).

Sucks though, I can't find any shocks available for the 550. I guess I'll go back to using the coilovers

I'm getting good at changing suspensions
