H&R Sport Suspention

I'm thinking of putting the H&R Sport Suspension (28878-2) on my 2012 Modern Line, can any of you that have made the change tell me how the ride quality is compare to the factory one (stiffness)?

To me after the change to the H&R Sport, It rides like stock. Body roll was minimized.

It's similar to stock but too bouncy in my opinion. I did the H&R's but then opted to do the M-Perf Suspension. I get the car back from the shop tomorrow....

So I've been driving the car for a few days with the M Perf suspension after upgrading from the H&R + base suspension on my Lux line. The difference is pretty big, in a good way. The underdampening problems have gone away... it's especially noticeable when going over speed bumps. With the H&R sports + base susp, I would bounce all over the place. Same with going over expansion joints on the highway at high speeds. I'm no longer afraid of bottoming out as I feel like the drop on the H&R's was a little too much. M Perf drop feels perfect. Overall I'm glad I did it, even though the eye popping pricetag was pretty outrageous. But I'm used to getting raped by BMW dealerships at this point.

Just talk to a guy that made the change, the car was lower and it looks sick. But he absolutely told me "don't do it, the roads here are too bad and you will be like me regretting you put them”. So I will pass. He told me he is waiting for a complete suspension kit.
