Spring & Shock Packages
Please ensure your correct model is selected
This H&R-Bilstein package replaces the M5's standard shocks and springs with more-capable bits from Bilstein and H&R. Using a stiffer spring will mean less weight transfer and bodyroll in corners and a slightly lower ride height for better aesthetics. This package will bolt in to any E34 M5 with the optional E34 Self-Leveling Delete Kit.
H&R Sport springs lower the M5's ride height by .8" in front and 0.3" in the rear and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 20% stiffer than the stock original springs.
We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. On the E34, suspension travel is crucial especially with a lowered ride height. This suspension is stiff but delivers uncompromising handling. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install. Because BMW used multiple combinations of front strut and strut mount we will need specific information from your car in order to send you the correct parts.
Parts list:
Fitment note: some very late E34 models were equipped with an EDC electronic damping system. This must be disabled to use this suspension.
