Hey guys hows it going. I have something that I need your opinion on. I recently purchased a set of BEAUTIFUL 20' i forged wheels and tires from a great guy on this forum. I want to get my car lowered but do not know which kit is better, either Eibach or H&R. I know coilovers are the way to go but I just dont have the money to go that route. I heard many great things about the companies but am still deciding which one to go with. I am aiming for an agressive drop as well as comfort. Im trying to ge the smoothest possible ride out of these things as possible. Please let me know which springs I should get. Thanks in advance!

My Ride: Jet Black '05 545i, Sport/Premium Pkg, Steptronic, Adaptive Xenon, Nav, L7, Blue2th, PDC,
Went with the Eibachs also with Bilsteins Sport shock. I have the sports pkg so my drop wasn't too noticable, maybe another 1/2 an inch lower at most all the way around. I also replaced my 124's with 166's and only my front's rub, albeit very rarely (steep bumps). It's no big deal to me really and doesn't affect how I push my 545. Like someone mentioned earlier, the ride is slightly a bit stiffer. With that said, anytime you lower your 5er from stock (sport or non-sport), you do sacrifice some comfort. But it sure is a pleasure to drive... I now drive with confidence AND a big smile on my face.
