my suspension rocks man. Got it lowered yesterday. 2 inch drop on Tanabe springs and sway bar for the rear. Ordered a front strut bar from Tanabe. The car corners really nice already, but it needs to be stiffer up front, so I'm looking forward to getting that part. I highly recommend it. But since the M5 already has pretty good suspension..... :)

i wish the M had a good suspension...its trash! its too soft under good pushing and plows the front end way to much. She is getting a FK coil over suspension (german) using koni double adjustables with height matched springs. I also have to chip in a couple of extra hundred bucks to get a nice set of camber plates to dial out some of the OEM understeer but ill have to wait and see if the new suspension will take some of that out

[triflowm5]

by the way, glad to hear your set up came out good

Damn, I didn't know the M5 had such a soft suspension. Kudos on the ideas to upgrade. Are you dropping the car significantly?

yo man, ribi says hi bye the way...

the suspension set up is going to be fully height adjust. from .25 lower than stock to about 2.25 below both front and rear. I think about 1" should be good in front and about .5 in the rear. Ill let ya know when i finally get it on. I now have to keep up with handy cause i refuse to fall behind the rx...
