Anyone got the combo or a similar setup and can describe the ride comfort?
As far as I know it voids the warranty to install them but thats the least of my worries. I am just looking to drop the car a bit without losing too much comfort while driving. In all my other cars I have to watch every speed bump and pothole like a hawk and sadly there are plenty in this country.
I want to keep the beamer as comfortable and smooth as possible.

So how did it affect your ride comfort?

Don't quote me on it as im not lowered but i believe the ride will be bouncy and not smooth with any lower spring unless you change shocks aswell

Ride is much firmer with lowering springs..you feel every road imperfection. If you want comfortable and smooth stay with stock suspension

I disagree on the above two posts:

Here is my setup:
335 luxury line
Stock OEM shocks non sport mind you
Stock 19 inch OEM rims
Brand new cheap NON runflat chinese tires
H&R sport springs
=
I am a happy guy!!!

My 335 luxury line no sport stock suspension was bouncy all OVER the place... i just cant believe BM released such a bouncy car.

Anyhow, i have just gotten the H&R sport without any new shocks, and it is so much better.

This is how the car should be from day one!!!

H&R Sport is low enough, but anymore and its annoying to go through speed bumps.

- news shocks would definetely be a better combo, but you do NOT need them. Since the H&R are sitting on OEM shocks in my car, i was afraid the bounciness would not be gone, BUT it IS GONE practically.

I love my car even more with this new setup!!!
Looks great and gone is the bounce.
No more gaps and with spacers, its all flush too.

Since i have a young family, i didnt want to have a harsh drive with the lowering...
And i tell you, i am satisfied with the above setup...

No RFT lessen the harshness
The lower spring takes out the bounce
Stock Suspension keep things confortable
The car looks good and the drive compliant, hoe it should be.

Hi,
i have a smiliar setup not even a F30. It`s a F31. In the picture you can see the Eibach Sportsline springs (40mm) and original 19". The optic is nice.

To ride comfort. In my opinion it could be better. It isn`t bouncy but hard. It doesn`t like small repeating waves on the street.

If you not want to lose too much comfort then take the eibach pro kit or a similar h&r spring set.

Thanks guys! I have settled for Bilstein coil overs with Eibach springs and couldn't be happier

Okay, so are the H&R springs a higher spring rate? Explain to us how lowering spring at a higher spring rate on stock dampers will reduce bounce.
