Do you really think it's worth it performance/handling wise to drop it further than an 08 Sport with M-Tech already is?
Thanks.

Hello All,
I have an 05' 545 with sport and I wanted to lower the car a little bit and was wondering which springs to go with to still maintain a decent ride and drop. I have tried the search option but everyone is lowering with eibach/HR sports on non sport suspension which looks like my ride height stock. So I didnt know if lowering with H&R sport springs will be almost identical to the stock sport springs what I have right now? Any suggestions I thank you in advance!

I will feel bad for your front end when you lower it with the sport package already.
Why would you feel bad for thee front end?

Its IN!!!
I put in the H&R sport spring on my 545i w/ sport package. The ride quality is fine. Its a tad bit bumpier when going over dips, but other than that it handles WAY better!
Took a freeway ramp stating 20mph and I entered the ramp at 50 and exit speed was around 58 59 via HUD.
