IM leaning toward picking up the sport springs, with the bilstien shocks. They seem popular, anyothers I should look at?

I've seen Curtis's E60 on H&R springs Race. They look very mean. But the ride must be harsh with all those potholes in NY.

I'm in the same boat as you so here's my .02 cents. HR Sports is like having Oem Sports Springs. The drop looks about the same. You will only get half an inch of the advertised 1.5". That's after it settles. If you want to go lower with a nice tucked look then you should go HR Race. Unless you're running 20" wheels, the ride is still comfy with improved handling. I have PM'd a few members who are running HR Race and they all love them. Also, I was advised that the spring rates on the HR Sports does not even come close compared to the HR race. A friend of mine who's running stock shocks with HR race highly recommends it. I even rode in his car and it was still nice and comfy. He's also running stock 18s btw. Hope this helps and GL with your decision.
