E39 525i/528i/530i H&R/Sachs Sport Suspension Package

This E39 sport suspension uses the H&R Sport lowering springs with the factory OEM Sachs sport suspension shocks to deliver better handling, lower stance, and near-stock levels of ride comfort. Where a Bilstein Sport is a true performance shock, the factory Sachs sport shocks are milder and easier on rough pavement. For a lowered height and prime ride comfort choose this H&R/Sachs kit. For the ultimate performance shock/spring package, choose the H&R/Bilstein kit.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by up to 1.3" in front and .75" in the rear depending on if the car has the factory sport suspension or not. The spring rate is also stiffer. 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 30% stiffer than the stock original springs.

Because this package uses the stock OEM sport shocks this can be a great upgrade for a non-sport car or a direct refreshening for a car with sport package. These are made by Sachs - one of BMW's suppliers for 50 years. For this package we also include front and rear bump stops (shorter and stiffer than non-sport) and front dust boots (rear boots can be re-used).
