Hi all,
I am looking to buy a set of aftermarket shocks to go with my H&R Springs but I have not found any companies that make shocks for the E60. Does anyone know if there are any shops out there that does make shocks? I know H&R & Koni have coilovers for the E60, but I don't feel like spending that kind of cash right now. Thanks!

[/quote]Thanks for the info! I'll see if I can get in touch with Koni and ask if those shocks only work with stock springs.

Check with Ground Control.
While there isn't something off-the-shelf for the E60, I'm pretty sure they can customize a shock/strut setup for your needs.

I was emailing a vendor and he informed me that ground control does not currently have a coilover setup for the e60. Still, they should be able to put a spring and shock combo together for you.
I know you're not interested in coilovers, but TC Kline offers a package with top adjustable konis and vogtland springs. That would be my suggestion if you're willing to spend the money.
BTW, did you ever get those rims fixed?

I was told by the dealer (Budd's Hamilton, ON) that the H & R springs will work with the stock shocks (non-sport) without problem.? Is there a reason you feel that you need to change the shocks?

Bilstein should have shocks for the E60.

[/quote]Do you know that H&R coilover will start to rust after being used for about 30,000 miles?
