Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted June 13, 2013 My e39 528i is currently running munro fronts with the factory springs and handling is getting a bit soft. If found this kit on ebay whioch would end up around NZ$1300 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-R-BMW-E39-5serie...#ht_1261wt_1075 My car has the Msport body kit but the VIN info below does not mention msport suspension so am hopful i will get the 40-50mm drop mentioned plus a balanced spring/shock package. Comments? i haven't found a better price than this and i figure H&R is a reputable brand.....

zara 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2013 HR springs + Konig yellow shocks seem to be the most popular option overseas. Go visit some overseas vendors like turnermotorspors, pelican parts, bmw parts etc to find a good combo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turners wanted over US$500 to ship a set of Bilsteins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if this forum does this but perhaps join a group buy of some sort? I'm a member of 300zx club and I got a DICE Ipod unit, some 6.5" speakers, Umnitza angel eyes all shipped here along with someone else's gearbox and I only had to pay $60 USD. The total shipping was close to $600USD including GST Perhaps even try starting a group buy? Takes a while to gather some interest but with more members on board, it would suddenly make financial sense to buy from the states Unfortunately in NZ shipping kills everything and your best bet would be tagging along bulk shipments Edited June 20, 2013 by zara Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
