Springs to Pair with Bilstein B8

Baseline suspension F30.

Dinan seems too conservative a drop so I'm looking at H&R Sports or the Vogtland set.

I was avoiding the Super Sports because I read stories of blowing the struts but since I'm upgrading those anyway, would Super Sports hold up okay?
Does anyone run the H&R Super Sports + B8s?

Wheels are staggered 19s which made a huge different from stock runflats but I need more drop without rub and a firmer feel. Coilovers unfortunately are just a bit out of range at this time. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

OP, check out this thread. This member paired H&R with Bilstein and was very happy.

From what I've heard, the Dinan have the same drop as the H&R Sport.

Saw a thread about a guy who compared and tracked 3 different setup (Dinan, Eibach, H&R) and he's the reason I got the Dinan.

Should have those installed in a couple of weeks with my B8.

Not sure how they compare to Dinan but +1 for H&R springs

I ended up with the H/R Sports + B8s from a forum member. I'm excited for a stiffer, more confident handling setup! Will post a short review once installed and settled.
