My Ride: BMW E60

Hello fellow people!

I want to change my oem suspension with h&r springs (-35 mm) to Bilsteins B6 (shocks) with Eibach (springs). What do you think? Should i go with H&R again?

Which parts should i also change?

Then i want to take spacers on my oem style 128 19".
How much "mm" can i put on?

Best regards

Are the B6 the same as the Bilstein Sport?

I replaced my sports suspension with Eibach Sport Kit Springs paired up with Bilsteins Sport Shocks and I definitely enjoy this setup. The rides just a tad stiffer but comfort wise pretty close to OEM. In terms of performance, let me just say "YEAH BABY!" and "WOOHOO!"

You won't be disappointed with that/your set up for sure.

Sorry, not sure about your spacers but info regarding your 5er might help others chime in. Good Luck
