My Ride: 2007 BMW 550i
Model Year: 2007
Default Stiffer ride without lowering

I recently added AG M359
19x9" et18 / 255x35 Michelin PS4s
19x10 et38 with 20mm spacer / 295x30 Michelin PS4s

The car sits just above the tires and I don't want to lower it but I want a stiffer ride.

What shock would work best with the oem spring?

Thanks
2007 550i sport package

I'd try Bilstein B8s since you have a 550i Sport. Sweet car BTW. Good luck.

I did some reasearch on the B8's. I'll keep checking the forum for reviews. Thanks for the compliment and help.

I have them on my E60. I lowered my 530i with Eibach springs and replaced the stock dampers with Bilstein sport shocks (B8s). It's hard to go wrong with Bilsteins.
