I'd consider them. MSS are also very good!

I would recommend taking a more sophisticated approach and getting matching shocks/dampers.

Lowering springs alone can cause all kinds of problems. You can overwork your stock shocks, for example, and you need to know what the maximum depth is that your suspension was designed for--otherwise you may compromise things with regard to bump steer, handling on the limit, etc.

It does not matter if Eibach supplies BMW with springs; what matters is that you have components designed to work together and within the geometry tolerances that BMW set.

I just got a set of M5 bars off ebay. My rear bar and front bar BOTH have the endlinks attached. BOTH bars have the bushings as well. The only diffenece is the rear bar I bought came with the brackets to bolt it onto the chassis..and the front bar is lacking any brackets..

Are the front brackets from an M5 and M550 the same for the front bar?? I’ve looked online and I swear the part numbers are teh same… so I’m thinking i can ust reuse my front brackets… and don’t need to buy “special” ones for the M5…

Agree?

In the photo I attached and circled the bracket - i think it’s the same part no matter if you have an M5 or M550… just the bar itself is different. ??
