New springs or what?

[rashid]

I’ve recently replaced all my shock absorbers by new BMW stock ones without replacing the springs but still I want to improve the handling but without throwing my new shock. What do you recommend for me. I have 530-2002

Eibach, the best.

Eibach or H&R.

But i recomend a Billstein kit with shocks and springs ( named B12 )

[rashid]

Thanks. Any experience with eibach on e39 stock shocks?

its a litle bumpy, and the shocks is not designed to work in the lower area, (H&R is the spring delivery to billstein kits )

Eibach does give you the right look, no doubt, but with standar shocks, im afraid it can be a litle bumpy.

Any way to upgrade to an OEM stiffer springs (the sport version)?

best dayli driver uppdate is Billstein B12, it contains Billstein B8 shocks and H&R springs, the best package i have tested on the road even with 20" rims.

Unfortunately, if you change to sport springs (Eibach or H&R), your new shocks might blow out on you sooner or later. The stock shocks are not designed or valved to work with sport springs.

Can I put sport OEM springs on my shocks?

Any one had tried this?
