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

Looking to emphasize the sporty side of your 5-series? You can reduce bodyroll and improve the handling with this Bilstein-H&R sport package. By lowering the ride height and center of gravity, and stiffening the springs the car will not roll as much in turns. With less weight transfer the tires stay planted to the road and allow you to carry more speed. All of this with hardly any penalty in the ride quality.

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.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.
