I got them and I don't like the drop. They had false advertisement. They say 1,2" from and back but end up being 3/4 front and only 3/8 back
Spring for M550 are much better
I spend $1000 for installation and i will change them to KW this coming spring
Why if happy with M550 H&R?
I mean the drop is lower on M550
The quality of springs are good, no complaints
I got that Miko, what I was alluding to why change to K&W?
KW are adjustable ( biggest reason why I want to change ) and are better quality.
I make Springs for living
Not trying to say H&R are not good quality but KW are higher level and the design is different
Since you're the right person to talk to
What to expect of M550 springs are installed to Ride & Handling?
Had seat time in M5C? Any comments?
I want some more plantedness and less body roll and cosmetics too
I didn't drive the CP model yet, from what I know it's about 10% stiffer
I have a Load Tester at work where I can check the load at certain height, split hight and also the Spring Rate.

Our cars have Dual rates.

I still have the stock Springs that I might take to work and measure the rates and compare them to H&R Springs.

I really didn't feel any different from stock, handling and body roll about the same. Which means spring rate must be about the same.
This puts it to rest!
Cause I am looking for stiffer and less body roll for sure, cosmetics aren't that important to me, most of the people I know don't know the difference between M5 and 528i
