shock for stock spring? bills or koni
Hello fellow E55's.
Did lots of search but lots of mixed reviews, most outdated.
Suspension question. Just gotten 1999 e55 with stock springs and shocks. It feels too soft for me, like i'm in a boat. 130k miles. I"m sure I also need to check my suspension bushings up front but what are my options. I like to stay with my stock springs, just updated shocks, more firm if possible.
regarding bilstiens
states part numbers from year 2012 (are these the old part numbers?)
front 24-021562
rear 24-100564
looked up new part numbers from bilsteins official site and they are different now, the B8's.
front 24-062046
rear 24-062053
Are these numbers/shocks the newest one out there? I see them in amazon but nowhere else?
How do these shocks compared to the Koni adjustables?
Thanks in advance.

See my attached thread. There may be some shock info that is helpful.
