E39 H&R/Bilstein Sport Suspension - E39 540I
(more info)
TMS has put together a shock and spring package designed to lower your car's
ride height thus improving handling, reducing body roll, and give your car a
more athletic feel without being punishing for everyday use. We chose H&R
Springs to replace the factory springs. These will lower your car tastefully for
a better appearance. Since these springs are progressive they stiffen as they
are compressed. This keeps the ride civilized. A Bilstein Sport gas-pressure
shock absorber works with these H&R springs to maintain suspension travel
and keep unwanted body motions to a minimum. Bilstein shocks carry a lifetime
warranty.
For the E39, BMW had a standard suspension and a factory sport suspension.
The difference is in the ride height. Below is a table with the model and drop
in ride height with the H&R Sport springs. Note: H&R does not make
springs for the E39 Touring (wagon).
