H&R sport springs question

In the E90 Aftermarket Suspension Guide sticky it states that H&R Sport Springs (part # 50490) drop the car by 1.3" front and 1.2" back. My question is if this is accurate for the 330i with the sport suspension? Tirerack states for these springs that:

Avg Low 1.2"F 1.0"R
Lowering dimensions are based on models without sport suspension. Sport models will receive minimal drop increase from sport ride height.

So with the e90 330i sport model do we still see a +1" drop or not?

iirc, h&r's website says 1.3" front and 1.2" rear. since the stock sport suspension is 0.6" lower than the standard suspension, you're suppose to minus 0.6" from what h&r has said.

that said, i found that my 325i with sport package really dropped ~1.5" in the front and ~0.6" in the rear. you can find my findings in the suspension survey thread at http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21202

What shragon said sounds right.

Here's the morph from 330i ZSP to H&R Sports:

Thanks for pointing out the morph from the other thread. I should have searched a little harder! I'd like to do it, dropping the car that extra little bit really looks nice. But I think I'm modding my lease too much. If I do much more to it I'm pretty much going to have to buy it at the end of the lease!
