I need some advice guys. I know all about spring kits from lots of posters. What I don't know is.... are there kits for both shocks and springs? Eibach, for example? I have an 04 530 NON-SPORT. I need to lower it about 1.2 to 1.3 inches front and back.

People have convinced me that just getting Eibach pro spring kit would completely fuck up my stock shocks after about 6 months or so meaning I might as well get shocks also.

I would recommend you getting shocks...PM me for pricing on brand new shocks/springs or here is a link for a used set of shocks and I can hook it up on the springs :

I say since its already being taken apart, just do springs and struts at the same time.

H&R's and Koni's.

Really?! Is this a proven fact? If so I should do something....

For the record, I went with the Koni sports kit as well as H&R Sport springs. I'll post pics next Friday!!!!!

Thanks to E60.net member salaki for the Koni kit (GREAT PRICE !!!) and to Eurogarage in Cali for the one who actually had H&R sports in stock, (national backorder).
