I have the bilstiens and I think the combo witht he H&R sport work great. I know a lot of the eibach guys tend to go with the Koni yellows.

I have the Bilsteins and Eibachs and the ride is pretty much sport. There you have it, 3 different replies with all the same answer!

I don't really like ebiach cuz it seems to give the rake look. Which Im not a fan of. Are the konis softer? If so that will be the deciding factor. I had billys and h&r sport on my e36..handles great but the ride is very very stiff. In the 3 series i don't care but this e60 Im not tracking i just want a lower stance without too much sacrifice of comfort.

The reason I went with Eibach rather than H&R is exactly because of what you said.....ride is too stiff.
