hey all gurus out there... need some advice on shocks and springs combo... i want to have the lowered effect without sacrificing much on comfort... any advice on which sets would suit best and yeah the price and place to get em' would help too... was recently in stuttgart tmn mayang and they recommended me koni... anyways i am riding on 18". btw they also told me i had to change my lower arm, upper arm, link rod etc. anyone can tell me if stuttgart is the best place to carry out the repairs or is there anywhere else better... they quoted 5k ++ for the job

I got it for rm2600.. Price floats from time to time, according to Autofuture is because the EURO exchange rate to malaysian ringgit. Last year it was around rm2400.

Yes it's harder.

 

[bmw7833]

Harder and shorter..

Bro I think this is Bilstein B6.
Because according to the part number and checked on Bilstein website,

BMW 5 SERIES E39 6 CYL SPORT F
Manufacturer: BILSTEIN
New part#: F4-VN3-4439-H0
List Price: $ 276.00

Setting: Sport (SP)
Position: Front


Sport = B6
Sprint = B8

B8 - F4-VE3-F407-HO

Affan has the Sachs Advantage & oem M-Sport spring on his E39, he said is more to neutral, not too hard or soft.
While B8 is more to the hard side.
