i know member wheelzplus in the bay area is rolling on 22s. and according to his info in his profile, he's riding on H&R springs. for me, im more than satisfied with my eibach pro-kit on my e60.

I think I'm going to use Racing Dynamics. I have somewhat lost faith in the H and R product..it's good quality, but some applications don't work as well as others. And I think they are definetly oversprung for most US situations. I"m pretty sure that Eibach is rolling the springs for RD Sport, and I think the ride quality may be a touch better. I also like the fact that they have two differnt part numbers with different ride heights. Just my .02....

comparing H&R to eibach, H&R is the "sportier" of the 2. eibach would give the closest ride quality to oem stock springs.

Coilovers... H&R or KW.

Dial in your own ride quality, not what the spring manufacturer wants you to have
