Hello members!

I feel my 545 loses stability on corners. And even on straight when I accelerate hard I feel the rear going down. Just a little because I have active bars.
Because of my experiments with INPA (some SW used in the factory to activate and deactivate accessories) some weeks ago I had the car with Dynamic Drive Control (named ASR in USA) off and seemed to drive a plane (or a motorbike): during hard acceleration the front pointed the sky.

So I think the problem are the shocks and springs. About 50k miles.

Now the question is... Is there anything out I could get for E60 with DDC/ASR instead of OEM replacement parts?
DDC/ASR is important because the shocks and springs have to match the same height with DDC/ASR bars etc.


Thanks and cheers!

Let me retry: which percentage should I choose for tinted glasses? 10% or 100% ?
And which tyre, 20", to avoid the rubbing?
I'm sure someone can pay attention now.
