If bilsteine makes shock for the ride control use those, but if your going to replace rid controlled shocks with standard bilstines, I doubt you computer would be happy and throw all kinds of codes.

If you have an F55, you'll have to buy a set of simulators to plug into the harness. Several forum vendors sell them. But yes, you can use the Bilsteins.

I put Bilsteins on as a replacement on a ride contol, F55, 2007. Ecklers makes an adapter that plugs into the connector. If you wish to convert back, one can change out the shocks and use the ride control again if desired. No problems at all.
