Thanks, I really like the ride, to be honest don't really feel too much of a difference from the sport suspension. I was tempted to go with the Eibachs as I read that many thought the H&R Sport were too rough but it feels perfect.
You mentioned that it's not too much of a difference from sport suspension, so H&R is just for the look? I'm tempting to get it done, but if there is no ride difference, I would not switch.
What about handling over the bump, around the corner and when braking hard?

My Ride: '04 545 Sport
Thanks all for the comments and responses. I've been lurking around this forum for a little bit and I definitely find it a bit more inviting than some of the others I've checked.
What I like about this Forum so much is that you can have some heavily modified rides and some beginner mods (like mine) but everyone chimes in to all. There doesn't appear to be any elitest group that is too good to respond, which really helps out Newbies like me.
Thanks, I'm wondering if I can count on my kids getting scholarships into College so I don't have to put so much money away for their savings. More for the Mod budget. Which currently consists of what ever I can get away with, without the Wife knowing. 
It was about $600 including the install. I purchased the springs from TireRack
I switched to some All-Season tires running 245/40ZR18 Front and 275/35ZR18 Rear.
I'm hoping to get some new wheels come Spring but didn't want to be in a position that I was forced to get wheels immediately, hence the All-Seasons as opposed to Winters.
No rubbing for me.
What I meant was the harshness. I saw a few threads mentioning the ride was too stiff. I don't think so at all. The ride is just right IMO. Cornering is much tighter and a lot more responsive. Handling over bumps is solid, I don't feel like the car is bouncing around at all.

congrats on your first of many more mods to come... looks great!!
Looks good - what'd it cost ya?
Does it rub? and what size are the wheels?
