I understood that the race verions are the most hardocore. Busta do you bealive it's a mistake? I have it m-packed. Also i understood that the race lowers the car by 40mm but compared to what? To any E60? Non-sport/M sport?
I plan also to run 19s or even 20s.

Busta's been doing well so far with his research of the H&R Sport and Race springs. I didn't think he would need my comments. The quote for $420 is a great deal. Good stuff, Busta! 
BetterMakeWay,
If you want to see what H&R Race springs look like on an e60 with M-package look no further than iceman316. He's sporting the Race springs. I believe he rolled his rear fenders. I've spoken to him and he mentioned that his ride has not suffered at all. Quite hard to believe, but those are his words. Also, member LA's E60 has ridden in iceman316's car and has said the ride is not too harsh.

Hey Busta,
You should call Tim at Eurorev. I called him for the same thing a few weeks back and he quoted me lower price for same thing (~$380) installed.
I think Iceman's car is done by them.
