Hi All, I am new to this forum, and I am loving it already. I need help on finding stock sports suspension (springs and shocks) for my 2006 525i. I made a mistake of not including the sports package when I purchased the car. To my knowledge, the sports suspension lowers the car about 0.7in - 1in, is that correct? Please advise on any alternatives for lowering the car. I am searching for suspension that only lowers the car 1in the most. Thanks for your time.

As you may know its members come from all over the world and, for them to be able to begin to advise you, it would help if you made your location known (though there are clues!!).

Buy the springs from BMW (about $500) and keep the stock shocks, but expect to replace them as they will wear more quickly with lowered springs. The suspension that comes with the Sports Package lowers the car .7".
