First of all Happy New Years to everyone. With the new year in, I decided to do some much needed maintenance/upgrades. Please vendors feel free to message me or post in this thread.
Apparently I need new shocks, since my factory ones are "expired"...my friend told to go for coil overs, not very familiar with these...wondering where or what vendor I can get em from and how much they go for. I also need set of slotted drilled rotors/brake pads. An also some TPMs, anywhere I can get these besides the BMW web????

 

i have a set of TPMS sensors and valve stems for sale...they are OEM. $150 for the set...

as for the brakes/rotors i would highly suggest Michael at Acute Performance...i went to him for my R1 Concepts rotors and HAWK HPS break pads for my 545i and was extremely happy with his customer service and fair pricing...

 

coilovers would replace the whole shock/spring assembly and the main advantage of them is that they are height adjustable. Ill PM you with some info. for coilovers the most popular that we carry include CKS and KW.

 

Hey guys, I've been looking at coilovers and they're all $1,500+ (way more than I want to spend on suspension). In honest truth I just want to replace my "expired" OEM sports suspension...do you guys think this will do the trick: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E60-Bilstein-Touring-Class-Strut-Shock-Kit-525i-528i-530i-535i-545i-550i-/110801112283?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Make%3ABMW|Model%3A530i&vxp=mtr&hash=item19c c42ccdb

oh god, please don't buy your coils from ebay :thumbsdown:
try ST coils, same people that makes KW, they are sister companies i believe,
you might regret it if you put cheap coils or suspension on your nice ride.
i'd save up for a good coils if i were you instead of cutting corners and going with cheap one, thats just my honest opinion sir good luck and keep us posted

Did you click the ebay links? He is considering Koni yellows which come highly recommended when paired with a good set of springs. He did not link any coilovers from ebay.


Back on topic: A lot of members will recommend Ksport coilovers. They've gotten good reviews and for the price, they are hard to beat. Michael at Acute sells these. Good luck with your research and keep us posted.

 

So what about these "Koni Yellows" are they good or what? BTW my car came with H&R springs installed.

 

Did a quick search and came up with:

Koni Yellows

Do a quick search and I'm sure you'll come up with better reviews. I don't personally have Koni yellows but many members seem to like and recommend them. Good luck.
