Just did springs on my 08 535xi. Bilsteins possibly once the shock/dampers go. HR sport springs on Style 128 19's. I recommend this drop since its not dumped and rides pretty nice. Kind of harsher over bumps rather then the stock 535xi old man SMOOTH ride, now its more of a sports car. The 19's and Michelin Pilots definitely help, the drop just made it look proper. ENJOY!
I want to thank Autocouture Motoring in NJ for the hook up on wheels, spring install, performance upgrades, and help throughout this process! www.autocouturemotoring.com

No.. I can say its prob no more than 1.5 in the front and its slightly higher in the rear. With 19's you can't tell as much, but its honestly PERFECT. Bilstein B8's will come when I blow a shock. I have 32,000 miles, I think Ill be good for a while.
They say 1.2 rear and 1.4 front. Id have to agree.

B8's get rid of most of the bounce. Well, they get rid of ALL of the bounce, but the car follows the curvature of the road surface, so it will seem like it bounces over wavy patches. But I must say, after initial slight bounce, it is just about gone after about a week - at least on mine.
