I am really no longer satisfied with the handling and cornering of my non sport 530i, seems to bob and weave in the corners now that i have been driving my modded e34. I noticed that bav auto has three sets of springs:

Bav auto
Ac schintzer
eibach
sachs

Now I have the bavauto on my e34 and i am really happy with them and the bilstiens heavy duty shocks. However they dont offer the shocks or do i need to change the shocks if i lower with the Bav autos?

NOw sachs offer a spring and shock, but i am not familier with them as far as ride and handling capability. And it also does not say that it lowers the ride height or what.

I need alittle help on this one guys.

Just go for Coilovers. H&R and kW have coilovers for E60..

Thanks SoCal did not thinks anyone was going to give up any ideas, I called Bav auto sport today and they informed me that bilstien had something in the works, maybe not coilovers but something I however would love coils overs because of the adjusment flexability. He also stated that sachs is pretty much the original equipment supplier and if it were he he would wait i will now start my search for H&R coilovers do you have a starting point? thanks again P.S. what is Kw i know of KYB but not Kw?
