i have h&r springs. they ride like stock just 25% stiffer. you wont even notice a difference as far as "ride quality" but the 545i is a heavier car so i dont know how the 525i will respond.

got Eibach
I am happy with the ride.... not much different than stock sport suspension.

I have BMWs sportsuspension, it has a great ride! My car came allready with it, if I had to change suspension now, I would go for H&r or Eibach. If you plan on carrying several people all the time or want to go extreme tuning wise, your best option is coilovers without a doubt! Hope this serves you? Enjoy the ride

Thanks for the replies, im usually by my self or one passenger. i was thinking of going H&R Sport Springs to lower my car about 1-1.5 inches all around. would 20 inch wheels rub?

KSPORT COILOVERS. they can go down way more if u wanted to really slam it. but setting it where the tires are hugging the fender looks right.

the rear can pretty much go down like 5 inchs without any issues. rubbing usually happens in the front. when i put my coilovers on for shits and giggles we dropped the rear as far as it would go. it was tucking wheel and nothing rubbed. the front could only go down like 2 inchs because anything more the inner wheel would hit the strut. now i coulda squeezed on some 3-5 mm spacers and solved that dilemma but i didnt want it that low anyways because it would be a pain in the ass to drive.

Just mind your offset when choosing wheels and you shouldn´t have any problem at all!

I have eibach pro on stock sports suspension.

With 20" wheels, rubs the front when hitting a big bump or a steep driveway.


No rubbing however with my stock 19" wheels.

Getting Eibach sport springs on 20' with same size tires. Buying from
eBay as a package.
