My Ride: 2007 550, premium, sport, nav, bluetooth, satellite, cold, M5/Mtech front bumper and side skirts, matte black kidney grilles, M5 fender grilles, M5 mirrors, euro stickers, 35% tint, 20" Miro 111s (summer), 18" VMR VB3s w/ 10 mm H&R spacers (winter)

I was a little hesitant to spend the money but very glad I did. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the car's stance. I don't think it's very noticeable in the pics but it sure is in person. Big thanks to mlist84!

I went with the 19" Milanos so no rubbing issues. 245/35-19 in the front and 275/30-19 in the rear. Bridgestone Potenza RE750's. The ride is great! Thanks again for the springs!

Carfreak - it is a non-sport which is why I wanted the springs so bad. I couldn't stop staring at that big gap under the fenders.

Wow - huge improvement. How's the ride? I'm doing the same thing when I switch to my 'summer setup' next month. How much did you lower the front/rear? The car looks terrific - great wheels!

The ride is very nice. Cornering was great before but is exceptional now. According to H&R specs, the front is lowered by 1.4" and the rear is 1.3".
