I agree and disagree with some of the things you said but I guess it doesn't really matter why to be honest. Overall, the whole reason I want to get some coilovers is so that the car never rides the same as it used to. The E60 has a lot of body roll in corners and a very loose rear end. With the coilovers and some sway bars I'm hoping to eliminate that body roll, not lower the car as much as sport springs, which lower that car at least 1.5", and hopefully tighten up the rear end also. With the H&R coilovers I can lower the car 1" and have a tighter suspension so that when the car is loaded with 5 people and I decide to turn I wont rub with the 20's and I'll have better overall control. Also, the coilovers that I'd be getting from H&R are not track use coilovers. Coilovers back in the day were almost strictly for track use, but a lot of companies are now offering less aggressive versions for street use, such as the H&R's I'm interested in. It's more of an adjustable sport suspension rather than a full on high performance/track use setup. H&R still offers a setup like that, but after the feedback I've gotten from this post I've decided that that's not what I'm after and I probably wouldn't use it that often. I would go with sport springs and new shocks, but that's going to drop the car too much and then I will rub anyway, so I think the coilovers are the best choice. The way I see it, the H&R's are right between the standard sport suspension and a track use suspension, which is almost ideally what I want.
