As far as I know, there aren't alot of aftermarket suspension upgrades for our X5's. I don't know of any performance shocks made for the X5. Eibach and HRE makes springs and swaybars. There are several companies making strut bars and camber plates. Here's a couple of links:

www.bmpdesign.com
www.bavauto.com
www.dinancars.com

If you don't have the sports package, you could always upgrade using BMW OEM parts. Good luck.

Regards, Mike

our X5s come with bilstein shocks as oem equipment. I dont think bilstein makes springs. unless they recently started to get into the spring market.

As DinannM3 correctly said ,the X5 comes standard with the Bilstein shocks and you can get these from a Bilstein distributor but they dont make springs!

Eibach have springs for the X5.You can choose lowering from 25mm -50mm.You can also just buy the front springs should you have rear air-suspension.

There has been a thread on this before and Bilstein definitely make upgraded shocks for the X5. I recently had some Bilsteins fitted to my Alfa and the salesman says they are available for the X5.

of course there available for the X5. bilstein is the oem supplier of shocks and struts for every BMW for like 10 to 15 years now. they use to use sachs but switched over to bilstein. not sure exactly when. I know for cars the offer stock the sport and heavy duty variations. Not sure about X5

AFAIK, Bilsteins come as standard on Sport Pack models. Boge makes the regular shocks.
