Hi guys. So, I've driven the '07 530 (sport package, 18" style 123) for a week or so now, and I feel that the suspension is a bit on the soft side. Are there aftermarket springs that you'd recommend to make it a bit firmer without lowering the car? Or even a firmer OEM? For the background, I come from a 528 E39 with Bilstein + H&R sports shocks and springs.

Thanks!
-Alex.

 

Hi Alex,

If you are looking for an improvement over stock that is not too stiff, I recommend the H&R Sport Springs. These are designed to lower the car and firm up the ride without making it too harsh for daily use.

 

you may also want to consider going with aftermarket shocks as well with a spring setup. coilovers is always another option as well.

 

yea change the shocks as well to save some labor cost later on

 

If the cars got some miles on it, you should swap out the shocks when you do the springs.
