I'm in the market for a good set of lowering springs that will give my 2007 M5 the right stance w/o comprimising the ride or shall we say w/ as little sacrifice as possible. My local Euro Mods dealer recommended AC Schnitzer springs. What can you tell me about your springs? Do you have any before or after pics & do you recommend spacers? I have Vertini 19" wheels on my car.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

These springs offer a progressive spring rate which translates to better handling while maintaining a relatively good level of comfort. I'm not that familiar with ACS lowering springs but I can tell you that I am running these springs on my E39 M5 with Koni Sport shocks and the comfort levels are very close to OEM, a bit firmer but very tolerable even in the worst road conditions.

Unfortunately I do not have any before and after pics of these springs on the E60 M5 but the advertised drop is accurate.

In regards to spacers, it all depends on how flush you want your wheels to be with the fender. You will probably want to drop the car first with a set of springs (new aftermarket shocks are highly recommended in order to maintain optimal comfort and handling) before considering spacers as you will want to see how much room you are working with first.

New aftermarket shocks is recommended but not required. The stock M5 shocks are more than enough to handle the increased stiffness of these lowering springs.
