M550 H&R Springs on F90 M5
On the fence of what suspension to get since I want to be lower than the F90 H&R Springs are offering. I know getting coils is the way to go but I can't shell out that kind of money on suspension just yet.
I was curious if anyone has more info on the spring rate for the H&R M550 springs compared to the F90 M5 H&R springs. Also wanted to know if it's a bouncy ride and if it made a difference in the handling of the car. Another thing I'm curious about is if anyone has an update for a cage or some sort of protection being made for the oil cooler as I read on another post that it can easily be punctured because of where it's located on the car. If anybody also has pics of their M5 being lowered if they can post it and say which suspension they are on. Thanks in advance |

But the price is not as cheap as H&R Spring. So far it seems like a lot more M5 guys opted for M550 spring and has no issues. Both ride quality and performance. Oil cooler protection, based on IND's post, Fall Line is working on it. Where in Cali are you? Let me know if you need some work done or price quotes.

Based on AutoTalent's post on HAS kit, the front is a bit higher than the rear with a max adjustment. But if you look the car in stock form, the rear is lower than the front by default. On my G30, I am using custom coilover, with same amount of drop between front and rear, the front is a bit higher than the rear. I can go more lower in the front, but I don't want to change the original weight ratio which is close to 50/50. If you like an even gap, so far seems like H&R lowering spring M550iX is your best bet.

Unless you have the oil cooler guard to minimize the impact. I've seen a handyman's ladder fell off the truck bed at the freeway. Only SUV, Truck, and Busses will be able to run pass that over without any damage.
