Hey guys, I am looking for some coilovers for my e60, but price is a concern as well as quality. One of the best deals I found is around $1250.00 shipped for a set of H&R coilovers. I am running H&R lowering springs on my 3 series and I am very happy with them, but I dont know how the H&R coilovers compare with the other name brand ones. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks, Brad

Hey bro,

I am running FK coilovers, they ran me about 1000 through Supreme Power (placentia, ca). Give Eric or Jeff there a call or if you want we can meet up and you can test out the ride quality. I have had HR, Eibach, and Koni coilovers on other german cars and I can honestly say that for the low price of 1000 these are by far the best bang for your buck! I had the stok sport suspension on my e60 prior and the ride is very comparable. You can always call Joe at Trinity Auto Sport as well.

Hope this helps.

Another popular setup are the KSport coilovers. They go for $975 shipped for a set. Hope some members will chime in.

If you do a search for KSport you'll also find reviews and what not. If you have any questions, let me know.

I have had the KSports on for a few months now and am very happy with them. Haven't heard about FK coilovers but I doubt it can beat the adjustability of the KSports. I have at least a couple of threads on the subject. Look up 'pjinca' member's thread as well.

I have H&R coilover, and I think it's very poor made. Good luck!

Pix: the front coilovers are at the max level, so that's the highest it goes
