F10 M5 Lowered on H&R Springs

Hi Guys,

We just lowered dbae's F10 M5 today with H&R springs. The ride quality with these springs are quite comfortable. You can tell they are a little bit stiffer, but not compromising comfort. We also installed matte black fender grills. Enjoy the pics

It'll settle and should drop a little bit more.

Not sure how much eibach lowers as they don't have that info on their website.

Any driving dynamics changed? How about change in stability at higher speeds and sharper turns? When I dropped my M3 with RD sports I found the car to be more jumpy over even minor undulations in the road.

The car looks great...

The ride is smooth. You can tell it is a LITTLE bit stiffer, but not by much.

I'm new here, so please correct me if my perception is wrong, but aren't those five spoke rims the 20" option for the M5? Perhaps there is a 19" version of that style available....? If so please let me know where I can get them.

Those are not 19" wheels.

Those are the 20" wheels....100%

But I am sure they will start making replicas in both 19s and possibly 21s

Drop looks great, a few more weeks and it'll settle a little better and it should look perfect.

Thank you Joe and Trinity Autosports!!!! Joe had my M5 dropped in under a few hours. My buddy took his M5 into the dealership to get lowered on H&R springs and it took them over 6 hours! Just to confirm the wheels are 20".

LOL whats up bro!!!

The dealer is always gonna rape you for this type of job albeit it isnt the easiest spring swap out there since it requires access to the back inside deck to get the spring bolts off.

My guy took about 2 hours to do it, give or take a few. He said it was easy but a bit tedious since you have remove the rear deck cover, speaker covers and then access the EDC wire.
