I would suggest you to go for either H&R or Eibach with koni shocks. Go to shox.com and they are selling it in a package price. Just look for Bob, he will gives you more information on springs and shocks that is suitable to your needs.

I'd think twice before doing that. I certainly would give serious pause to putting on the Konis over Bilsteins. And in the past, RD springs have worked well on other BMW for me. Would like to know about anyone using any of the new RD parts on e60....

Federico at RD sounds very convincing...he explained the springs are made by the oem supplier for masserati and ferrari also. But in the end i opted for the safer route....i got eibach's
