Replacement shocks on lowered X5

[X rated]

I'm planning to install eibach springs on my 2001 X5, and since it has 80k miles I was thinking I might as well replace the shocks at the same time. I was thinking of going with Bilstein shocks, but was told they do not make rear shocks for the self leveling models. Since my X5 did not come with the sports pkg I was considering using the factory sport shocks as the next best thing. Any ideas suggestions?

The BMW OEM Sports Package rear shocks are made by Bilstein. That would probably be your best bet unless Bilstein makes HD rear shocks & HD front struts for aftermarket mods.

Thanks, it looking like using the factory sport shocks may be the way to go. I was surprised to learn that Bilstein did not offer anything on their website for my application.
