I got the yellow Koni Sports a few months ago. They are front hard and soft adjustable. I have it set mid way (which Koni recommended to me for street use). They are very good and still comfortable. Definately a good choice!

Did you have them on last winter want to know how it would ride in the winter and will it rub with 20" wheels
20's with the correct offset shouldn't rub, yes I have them on in the winter as well. I have no issues running them in the winter, the last couple days here have been -33 degrees celcius in the morning and the shocks ride a little stiffer then usual but no issues. Still enough clearance to get around with the snow.

Does anybody put on new sway bars too or just shocks and springs? Also, my car has the sport package so can it be lowered the amount these spring packages will lower the car?

some have gone with sways but the sport package e60s do have stock sways. for any of the springs, the spring drops are measured off of a non-sport e60. the sport package is lower by about 0.7" so a sport package will be lowered by the difference
