e39 shocks & springs

[Valdelisbmw]

For daily drive i would buy Sachs shocks and eibach or H@R springs and get drop u want . heard only bad experience with bilsteins ,if to go for something bit more stiff , Koni shocks would be my choice

Good to hear Valdelis - if you were happy with ride height with factory springs, is it safe to say they'd be ok with new sachs - maybe an uprated h&r ARB front and back and powerflex bushes to match? (intended as a daily - no greater stiff ride needed, than stock)

A spring is a spring - unless it's broken - would the factory springs do another 150K? The MTech shocks were sachs OE anyway weren't they?

becouse rear springs very common to broke on E39 ,with msport suspensions .of course first thing why this happens ,is old, not really strong shocks ,and very offten springs are very rusty ,wouldnt look nice with new shocks

What do you mean by bad experiences with bilsteins?
I was thinking of getting b4's for the front of my e34 (with a small drop)

I have Koni adjustables in my e34, quite stiff but tightened up the car. Although I've never adjusted them so there may be some comfort to be had!

might help with sachs shocks and eibach springs if somebody really interested .

B8 actually are common to fail , not sure about B4 , but Boge or Sachs are perfect shocks,the ones come from factory

Same here, have seen it a good bit recently with Bilstein. Sachs/Boge get my vote also!
