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.

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![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
I'm getting good at changing suspensions
