Is there anyone besides ACS, H&R, and I believe RDSport that offer springs for 550 xdrive? Thanks people

I just installed on monday some H&R 550i spring on my 500Xdrive w/adaptive drive.
The are not made exactly for my set-up, but heck I figured i would try.

First impression, softer then stock. or that what it feels like.
(maybe this is because a xdrive is heavier the a RWD.
A bit more bouncier then stock, and on real bumpy damaged roads, i feel the bumpstops working.
With 4 peoples in the car, on sports mode. car hits the bumpstops pretty easlly on bumps.

In the corners, all is good do, well from only about 250 miles on the springs.

The drop has some rake in it. but good for the street.

H&R now offers a 500xdrive spring. They didn't have it when i bought my springs late 2011. since it was winter, i decided to hold the install for nice weather.
