Phil's M5 has B8s with Intrax springs all round. Ride is great but within the space of 7-8000mls I've replaced them all under warranty. Fronts due to play in the piston and rears failed NCT on imbalance.

BUT when it's all working its a fantastic set, comfy but planted and well able to cope with 650bhp

Have fitted a few sets of BCs at this stage and always very impressed with there quality. But like any other coilover it's all in the set up

What I've found is the E39 is ruined, absolutely horrible to drive when there "slammed" so if you do it to that car then ill chop your nuts off!

I do like that H&R cup kit, seems like good value but would like to see it fitted to another E39.

I think it has blistein b9s in it but I'm not sure of springs. Conor probably knows the detail. If I had an e39 I'd just copy that formula.

Alternatively, how about bags if you want to go low?
