Others will chime in, plus you could do a search as this is a pretty common topic/mod

I have the eibach pro-kit with bilstein sport shocks on my 530. initially though I just did springs and replaced the shocks when the ride started getting bouncy which was after about 20k miles. btw, PM replied

I have bilstein and H&R sport and I love them. they did however change the ride characteristics quite drastically.

If you want an affordable suspension upgrade, go with a set of replacement springs like the H&R Sport or Eibach Pro Kit.

if you want to lower it properly and keep the same ride quality, then go KWv2 coilovers! i personally have it and have sold it to several members.
PM me if you're interested. i've worked out a great price with one of my sponsors and i can also hook you up with install not too far from Cerritos!
