My Ride: Gone: 2004 525i Jet Black, Built 03/04, Premium Package, Black Dakota Leather, Halogen to Euro Spec Bi-Xenons Retrofit, Dark Poplar Wood Trim, Steptronic Breyton Spirit Reps 20x9F 20x10R - Nitto NT555 245/35/20F-275/30/20R, M5 Front Bumper, H&R Sport Springs, Chrome Grills, 20% Tint, Euro Reflectors, Debadged, Aux Input, CIP v19.x
Keep in mind with Race springs + 20" wheels you would most likely have to roll your fronts and rears. One thing I wanted to add regarding ride quality...it has suffered a great deal with just my sports but that's due to my agressive style of driving.
Once I roll my fronts ride quality should improve somewhat. I will probably end up removing my 245/35/20 fronts and using 245/30/20 in the future due to the drop.
There's a ton of variables but imo driving style plays a major role.

Alan,
The drop seems to be nice, how's the ride? I'm worry of spring upgrade w/o the shocks then the ride get bumpy. I wonder if the same spring will work on XI model too?

The ride is fine. Of course is a little harder than before. Is not as comfortable after the drop, since H&R have a higer spring rate.

Would everyone agree that H&R has a bigger spring rate than Eighbach? i guess meaning that it bounces more?

My experience w/ Eibach, when I bought a set of Eibach Pro Kit (Progressive rate spring + Koni shocks) for my Brother's E36 320 back on '96/'97 and the ride seems to be nice & solid, back then I was afraid it'll be hard like when started I modding '88 & '90 E30 M3 way back but turned out to be very good ride. Maybe H&R bounces more or maybe w/ matching shocks will not so bad... I'm not sure...

this is the H&R Sport on my 545i with 20's. No rubbing!
Will the drop be the same even if i dont have sports suspension? I love your car by the way, it looks perfect thats the drop i want on mine.
