I've looked and there are a ton of threads but I can't seem to find what the drop would be for a 545i with sports package using H&R sport springs. Any help appreciated. Thanks

for a 545, H&R sport springs should lower about 1.3" front and 1.2" rear, measured off of a non-sport. as member pjinca mentioned above, a sport is roughly 0.7" lower than a non-sport, so the drop on your sport 545 would be around 0.6" in front and 0.5" in rear.

Thanks guys, I'm really debating whether to drop it or not. I already have the springs but I'm concerned with possible tire rubbing and scrapping on dips and what not. Will 285/30/19s rub?
Here is a pic of my current setup:

No 19's shouldn't rub, when I was running 19's I didn't rub even on the deepest dips. I only had to roll my fenders for the 20's - you should be good to go
