So i already did a search but couldn't find the exact answer i needed.

I just bought 20's for my 2004 530i-non sport. I want to lower the car, but i also don't want to lose the ride quality!! i know i will lose a bit but i dont want to lose much..but again i want it low.

Eibach or H & R and sport or racing?? Thanks

I have H&R Sport. I don't think it's that bad. However, I heard Eibach is a little more comfortable.

If you want it low, I"ll go with the H&R Sports springs.. That's what I have in my car right now and it still feels like OEM suspension.... Good Luck!!!!

I believe Eibach Pro-Kit springs are designed to work with the stock shocks. But both spring sets are very good.

+1 eibach pro-kit is made to work with the stock shocks, and its been said that with eibach, it gives the closest ride to oem quality. H&R is great too, but i made the decision before to go with the pro-kit and i love it. good luck.
