H&R springs vs Dinan springs

I have a f30 with H&R sports spring with H&R front and rear sway bars and B8 shocks. I thought the ride was a bit harsh but stiff. I switch to Dinan spring because I heard the ride was better. The Dinan Spring feel very stock like. Very forgiving. But I think to soft. But I guess It's ok for now. The f30 is soft in general. I guess I'll live with it cause it rides better.

Yes I destroyed my top hat already. Hitting a pot hole.

Yes my H&R springs for sale

Soft as in. H&R are stiffer than Dinan. Dinan are more comfort. HR are more stiffer and sporty. Plus the front on Dinan sits a tad higher than back. So I guess I won't be scraping my lip as much.

I had m3 lower control arm which made the car stiffer than the sways. But I took off because it look dumb with all that camber.

But I'll guess I'll settle with this combo.
