Product Details
These ST Suspensions ST Sport lowering springs, without factory air suspension, fit the 1999-2003 BMW 5 Series Sports Wagon (E39).
ST Sport Springs for the E39 5 Series Sports are developed for this car and fit the original shocks for a slightly lower ride height. ST Sport Springs cover more than 1,000 applications, including many cars with electronic dampers. Our ST Sport Springs are designed to work in conjunction with your factory dampers. Each set is matched to your particular vehicle to ensure your suspension continues to function properly. ST uses vehicle specific spring rates in each ST Sport Spring kit to match the original dampers.
ST Sport Springs are made of chrome silicon steel. You will not only benefit from a lowered center of gravity and more direct handling but also improved steering and more stability during cornering because the vehicle's body roll is reduced. ST suspensions springs are constructed to OEM quality standards. They are made of high strength chrome silicon steel in a cold winding process then multi-tempered and have a final epoxy coating. This process helps resistance to different weather conditions. The high strength ST spring steel also ensures that our ST springs are block resistant and the springs do not sag.
Performance and style for every car
Made from chrome silicon steel in a cold winding process, ST sport springs are multi-coated with a final epoxy coating ensuring an OEM quality and finish. As a result, they withstand a variety of weather conditions all year round. Depending on the vehicle model, ST suspension sport springs will allow a typical lowering of 20mm on the front axle and 15mm on the rear axle. Compared to standard suspension, ST sport springs lower the center of gravity to provide increased driving dynamics and handling. Furthermore, compression and rebound is reduced which allows the car to drive more agile with reduced body roll.
The ideal spring rate for every car
The spring rates of ST sport springs have been designed to work perfectly with the standard dampers to ensure the driving dynamics are improved and ultimately safe. Vehicle weight, wheel loads and the level of lowering have a huge impact on the rebound and compression of a vehicle so it's essential this is not compromised. Depending on the level of lowering (for example 20mm, 30mm or 40mm), ST sport springs have different spring rates that harmonize with the standard shock absorbers. Put simply the more lowering, the higher the spring rate.
