I put 20's on the wife's 535, and I don't see how it could be lowered at all. As it is, when you enter a driveway the wheels rub a tad bit, and with their size, the wheel well is filled up. Doesn't stop me from installing the M-tech kit though

Lets us know what you think. I have read good reviews on Koni FSD's. I'm anxious to hear real world reviews.

The shop is called "So Cal Suspension Garage" in El Cajon. The owner eric said he has done over 200 Five Series since he he located down the street from a BMW dealership.

The prices are very good. Theres even an E60 on his homepage. (www.socalsuspensiongarage.com)

The suspension is IN.

The ride is a lot better than I thought it would be. The installer said that the Koni FSD shocks come from the factory at the softest setting "comfort". Is that true? Anyways... I'll post pics later tonight.

What do you guys think about the comfort of Blistein sport shocks compared to the Koni FSD's, I have h&r sport springs and will either pick one of these sets up and would like to know what you guys think about either of these, thank you all.
