[QUOTE="supergripen, post: 10286, member: 1254"] Hi guys,I've just purchased an e60 525i Jap-spec which comes with the standard suspension setup and 17s running on 4yr old runflats(B'stone).I am indeed planning an upgrade to 19s on normal(read non-RFT) tyres and also a suspension upgrade owing to the fact that the suspension and rolling components are already 4yrs old.I plan to get Bilstein's B12 kit,with mono-tube and inverted shocks.A search reveals that Bilstein claims the kit offers handling improvements and lowering without a sacrifice in the ride quality.Seeing as to how this is a relatively new offering,i was wondering if anyone here is currently using this particular kit and how you find the ride.I've found out that the kit comes with H&R springs which are pretty stiff.i don't want a stiff ride,so am I better off with just changing the springs to Eibach's Pro-Kit springs?I'm used to Eibachs on all my previous cars but have been told they are no good on the e60..comments?any feedback and comments are most welcome..:wink: [/QUOTE]
