Salaam E39 sifus!

Just bought myself an E39 523i 96' model for family car. Currently it's on recently replaced (by the previous owner) stock E39 Sachs shocks and Vogtland springs. The vogtland springs sit quite high at the rear thus gives the car a "terjongket" look. But the front height is perfect. Been contemplating to buy the E39 M-Sport springs (i guess it's made by Eibach?) but don't know how it will turn out.

The car is on M5 rims staggered. I just want to lower the rear a bit but i have to change springs to do that right? just don't know what springs is most suitable. Not so hard but not so soft, if same like vogtland also can.

Thanks guys!

Just pm bro vixxx for H&R springs....the stance is awesome..

Bro, what's the difference between M-Sport springs and H&R in terms of stance and hardness/softness?

TQ.

H&R, average of height front is 1.30" & for rear is 0.75, i am not sure bout msport. The stiffness is abit subjective, some more you wan something "Not so hard not too soft" you are confusing yourself. Hard passenger complain, and if it soft/lowered carry load sure tayar blakang sangkut.

Since your e39 is for family car (carry load), keep what u have now, when all load is there, i guest the levering will be ok.
And when u drive alone just keep 10kg bag of rice at your rear trunk da kautim .
My exp of changing HR and running a stock susp with 18 staggered rim, balik kampong not good bro.

TQ bro for the quick reply. Yes, often very hard to describe suspension feel using words, be it car or bikes. Actually i prefer the current feel, coz still can go 200 when driving alone, but i really do not prefer the current rear stance.

Tested an E39 last month which has exactly the set up that i want. He's using Sachs Advantage shocks, msport springs (I think, cant remember what he told me) and fron n rear AC arbs with teflon bushings. Damn good, never felt the speed bumps, and the big bumps also the car soak just nice with good rebound of the shocks, and 10mins later still can do 190 at the NKVE with confidence.

Bro haywire told me that the sachs advantage can only be found overseas so that's a rest case.

What i need is just a bit more drop at the back...

The guni beras 10kg tip is ok but afraid Mr. Tikus will find it's way there hihi...

TQ.

Tq bro for the invitation. But i just got info just now that my sachs advantage will arrive in few weeks time God willing. So i guess i just buy the m-sport springs and probably the arbs too when i got my hands on em'.

If work on my E39 is settled then it's time to let go my beloved E36 328i(M) coz not enuf parking for 3 cars!
