Are the H&R and AC springs of the correct ratio for the stock shocks? Would changing the springs only shorten the life of the shocks and affect the ride quality tremendously?

Have you considered the Eibach springs? I got those and so far I love the look/ride. No sport package on my 525i

another view... sports with no drop.. i may put the h&r race (gives it a 2"inch drop) or the H&r Sport more than likely..

When I purchased Schnitzer springs for my previous car, they were just rebadged Eibach's. However, they were warrantied by BMW. Not sure if it's the same for the E60 and I doubt it warrantied for you guys in the US.

Silver530i,
Nice lookin' ride.
Might I suggest the brake calipers be painted black.
Looks great as it is. How much space between the tire and the fender?
Will it rub if you drop it 2"?

How much was your wheel and tire package?
What kind of tires?
