Will I notice the drop on a sport package? I just sold my '04 530 non-sport and purchased a '07 550 w/ sport package. I had the H&R sport springs on the 530 and the difference was very noticeable. However, I was wondering what the experience has been on e60 sport package cars. Did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

on your sport package, the H&R sport springs would drop your 550i at about 0.6" in front and 0.5" in rear. feeling-wise it will be very noticeable.

What's the feeling like compared to stock sport suspension? Better, worse?

Worse :thumbsdown: . The Sport suspension(or M Sports) are matched set of springs and shocks. It's your call- Looks or performance. GL.
