Message: <blockquote data-quote="chaiks" data-source="post: 269359" data-attributes="member: 278">I think most replace the spring and absorber and if fail, replace bigger rim & wider tyres. Totally, neglecting the other suspension components that equally play an important role, such as arms (upper & lower) and rods (link & side). I just replaced them on a 5 yr old e39, the difference was so significant to just only replacing the absorbers done a month back. It yields similar result I have on my last e34 of worn suspension. I doubt a brand new standard 5er suspension system will feel floaty or wobbly at speed with only standard 16"rim (heck my previous e34 on 15" rim also felt planted and reassuring). On top of that, the ride and handling was excellent. The steering in fact, feel firmer and reassuring. Trust me, check them out, it sure make heck a lot of difference.The only downside, replacement of suspension wear & tear such as absorbers, arms & rods of e39 doesn't come cheap. But the sheer handling feel of an e39 with brand new suspension like the first day it roll out the production line, is PRICELESS. :top: It totally brings out the "Sheer Driving Pleasure" of the "Ultimate Driving Machine".P.S. Be warn, what I did does not add to any visual improvement at all.</blockquote>
