H&R race spring e92

I was planning on putting H&R race springs on my car and just wanted some opinions on them.

How is the ride quality?
Will I have to roll the fenders? (stock rims and RFT)
Will my shocks blow?
Will it bottom out and hit my fender if I hit a large bump?
How much did it cost YOU for install? (I know it varies)
If you had a chance to go back would you get them again?

My future plans as far as rims goes I am thinking Linea Corse 19s.


Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for your responses.
When going with an aggressive lowering springs, you most definitely need aftermarket shocks. Your stock shocks will be gone within a few months if not quicker due to the aggressive drop and the spring rate. Stock shock is simply not adequate. Depending on the wheels, tires, and offset, you may or may not need a roll. If on stock, you are fine. You also may hit the front fender if the bump is large enough. That's why I personally steer clear of the excessive drop. I'm looking at either B&G or H&R Sport, while Coilover is not far from the horizon. Installation cost is solely on the shop, which, may range from $150-$200 for the install. If you are looking at Linea Corsa, I would highly recommend a fender roll just to be on the safe side. Happy modding!!

We will have RSD Sport-tek springs releasing soon(6-8 weeks). The drop will be inbetween the sport and race spring but will still retain comfort like the sport springs.
