H&R super sports w/ 704 Msport suspension.

I'm looking to lower my f30 335i. I currently have the m sport suspension 704. I've read a lot of mixed feelings about people using stock shocks with lowering springs. I was curious if anyone had any input about adding h&r super sports with my current suspension (704). Would it ride the same or better? Is it still a bad idea? And does Msport suspension even use different shocks compared to base model?

I'm currently running H&R super sports and have the Msport suspension. Although the drop is very nice, the ride quality isn't all that great on stock shocks. It's very bumpy and you feel every imperfection on the road.

Thanks for the quick & honest response. Even though my car is mainly driven weekends, I don't want to sacrifice much comfort during the drives. My next option was to go with BC (br) coilovers.

parts for spring & shock combo will probably cost as much as the BC coilovers. I think the BCs will deliver more options and same or better ride comfort.

Another route you can go is just H&R Sports. I have a friend that just lowered his F30 335i on Sports and the drop is very clean as well
