Thank you
Thank you
Yes, the HR racing springs are available. Check the HR Springs website and you can get the part number. They make them for all E60 models.
www.hrsprings.com
I myself am getting the Sport springs. Have ordered but not installed yet. I don't want too much lowering but want improved looks and handling. There are other posts here that show pictures / and opinions on those who have had the sport springs installed. However, those posts are a few months old now. If anyone has any updates on how they like their H&R Sport Springs (after using them for a while), please share your opinion and experiences.

Does anybody know if there is any real gain by replacing the M springs from an M packed car with those H&R race springs? Gain both in looks and in cm. What about the handling/ride? How would that modify with those springs over the m tech ones?
I heard that M and sport models are naturally lowered by 15mm from stock. Eibach does a 30mm drop. Race springs from HR are 60mm drop I think...

So that would be a drop of 45 from the M pack car. How about the ride? Could that be affected and go way worse?
Absolutely.
I think the HandR products give a great look, but I also believe that most applications are oversprung for US situations. I won't be using them again. It's not that the quality is poor, or that they have a lousy organization. It's just that in my opinion, it's too much rate for most US roads and driving style. Have used them at least a dozen times in the past, but looking for different setups now. Just my opinion....
