Hey how's it goin people? I'm looking to lower my e60 sometime in the near future and am deciding between H&R and Eibach's. I do not have the sport package and I'm looking for a almost stock ride quality. Nothing too harsh, like my girls RSX lowered on skunk 2's, that thing has stiff ass suspension and bounces hard. Also if anyone has any pictures of an e60 w/o sport suspension on H&R OR Eibachs that'd be great. BTW I did a search and i came across a 550 lowered on cut H&R's, it did sit very nice and aggressive but i bet the ride was very harsh.

Thanks in advance !

eibach gives the closest ride quality to stock in terms of ride comfort, but will also depend on if you plan on doing shocks as well

Yeah I'm speaking in terms of ride quality. But at the same time I'm looking for a somewhat aggressive stance. But hey beggers can't be choosers eh? I'll probably get adjustable shocks after the stock shocks wear out after driving on aftermarket springs.

I just got eibachs put on and i feels more tight and sharp than before.

Feels pretty good with the stock shocks and the dop is perfect. Front is almost tucked and the rears have a slight two finger gap so when I have passengers or stuff in the trunk it doesnt hang lower than the front. Nothing more retarded than that.

They are both solid setups. Like the others said, the Eibach is the more compliant of the two but I prefer the H&R because you get that added performance advantage in addition to the lowering. I do suggest upgrading the shocks at the same time to do it all at once.

+1. Eibachs give more of a raked look, which I prefer.

I had the H&Rs put on a few weeks ago on my 545 (non-sport). IMO the car does not ride harsh at all (it is wife approved). It is a "tighter' ride. I have 19" staggered wheels/tires and before the springs you could feel the lean around corners, but now there is much less body roll. It rides well whether on the highway or crossing RR tracks. Again, not harsh at all. I didnt change the shocks/struts as the car has low miles, but I'll keep an eye on it. My sig has a couple of pictures after the spring install. GL!
