Yes get the complete set.

I know on my buddies M3, the installer at CEC said to watch out on the max setting. The car can snap loose without warning. I don't think the E60 will have this problem, the M3 suspension is a lot tighter.
Hmm... thanks for the advice. I will certainly look into this as my next mod

I agree, get the complete set. I did the front first (they ship me the wrong rear), and turn in is definitely tighter, but the rear can still feels loose. Once I got the rear install, I notice it gets tighter, to a point that if you get too extreme, it will snap loose. I have the front on max settings, and the rear in medium settings. The front has two way adjustment, whereas the rear has 3. My thought is that I want to try the medium setting to see how I like it.

It feels good to take sharp on-ramps with high confidence. I had a suspension kit and it feels pretty decent, but with the sway bars it's definitely another notch up.

Sometime ago I saw someone selling the ACS bar on classified, from what I read they are rebadge H&R. Oh, I forgot to mention I have the H&R complete set.
