Hey all new to this forum. I have an 07 530i and recently slapped on Beyern mesh wheels
Fronts 19x8.5 275 35 19 et 15
Rears 19x9.5 275 35 19 et 25
I have read other posts and was hoping u all can give me advice if I should go with eibach or h&r
It is my daily driver and also family car. 2 kids
I wanna get the car to sit even but also without rub when we are all in it.
From what I've read eibach have smoother ride but have more of a "raked" look?
Are h&r springs a rough ride?
Thanks for the help

i agree with the fellow member above, the H&R sport springs will sit really good on your tire and wheel set up
and the ride is actually very comfortable even with the stock suspension

I forgot to mention but I am sure you both noticed I have the non SP.
Stock suspension on h&r still be a "comfy" ride and sit even?
