My Ride: 05 545i 6MT
I tried H&R Sport w/ OE Sport package strut.
These two match pretty okay. Still floaty in my opinion.
Pretty good but I felt significant difference w/ I change my OE sport strut w/ Bilstein Sport.
These lowering spring requires a higher valving struts and shorter bump stop (you can cut your OE bump stop or buy Msport bump stop)
Bilstein SP comes w/ shorter bump stop, inverted front shaft design and more aggressive valving that will match these springs better than OE Sport strut.
Don't fall into coilovers if it's your daily drive.
It's a fragile suspension that can get bent easily and pretty high $$$ to rebuilt if something bent/breaks/leaks/blown
Strut/Spring are still the best combo for everyday driving.

I have the 530i without sport suspension. Do you guys think it would be okay if I got the H&R sport springs? This is my daily driver. How would the ride be?
