For everyone whom have dropped their 5er. Are the H&Rs' everything they claim to be? I am most cercerned with any change with Toe In and Toe out/ or Cmber and Caster and yes off course no rubbing with a non rolled fender? Thanks.
I think everyone kinda thinks the lowered look is cool right? Least I do! Thanks Dan

you need to have the correct wheel offsets to avoid any rubbing issues!

I used to have Work Vs-XX in 20" with a very aggressive offset lowered with H&R sport and my car rubbing is like a mother even all fenders were rolled, it's very stressful!!!

other than that, ride comfort does not change, IMO!

Radz! Are /were the Vs-XX in 20 on the 550? or the new m3? I am contemplating the 530 xi with H&Rs' with either 245 at front and rear and or 275s at rear staggered. I realy think the 1.4" drop and the 1.3" drop at rear will visually look boss, but need to know that the rest of rod will not be effected? Thanks Dan

My rear camber was adjusted by 1 point. Didn't need any sort of kit and I don't have rubbing issues with 19's and an M6 offset.

Howi! I looked at your pics. I thought the drop with the 19s would be closer than what your photos show? Still seems like the space is at least an inch? The H&R drop for the xi is 1.4 for front and 1.3 for rear. Is that the same for your i model? Thanks Dan
