hi all:
just bought a 04 E60 545i 3 weeks ago, can't wait to mod it as i liked modding my previous STi, hopefully a bimmer would make me love modding more
i am not looking to track the car, so the below list is more oriented to make the car look nicer.
these are what i am looking for:
eibach prokit for spring, dont wannar harsh the ride quaility too much with H&R. i was told by someone its lowers the car 2 inch all around and look nice on wheels but the ride quality is just not as good as a eibach prokit. currently i am on stock non sport 545i.
koni struts, a maybe, since my car is at 38k miles right now, god knows when the stock strut is gonnar die after i change to eibach? if i can find a good priced koni, i might go for it when i change the spring.
tires, 245(255)/35(40)/19. i will be running them on a 19X8.5 ACS type 3 silver, unfortunately i cant run staggerd set up as 245 in front and 275 at rear. so this spec is what i am going for.
166 with tires, if they come in before the tire.
H&R sway bars. that is only thing i would like to mod not for looks. the stock suspension on my 545i is killing me right now, imagine i came from a STi family, and now a non sport e60.
btw, do you need aftermarket endlink for aftermarket swaybars? just to comfirm since my previos car needed them.
i am in vancouver, Canada, i would kindly ask you sent out the item to somewhere near the boarder in Washington, lets just say 98281 for now. it doesnt matter used or new, as long as its not broken or will be broken in few months.
actually i prefer used since i am so broke after purchasing my first bimmer.
PM me and convice me with your price please.
