The drop looks mean with them cut!
Due to winter and whatnot I don't want mine to go any lower so hopefully I don't have to cut down the road.

I remember stickin' my finger inside the springs to measure the gap for suspension travel to help you verify when you worked on the bumpstops
that was fun ...

Pre bump-stop cut in front/back vs. Post bump-stop cut. Was I riding on them? You be the judge.

I am enjoying them, already recieved a ton of compliments around town. Was your face because you miss your E60 or because you don't think I will be happy with them! Because I am!
and Dr. lev, I know you hate H&R but stop trying to piss in my cornflakes please.

I hope you love the shit out of them, though. I just try and let others know the risks and negatives. I am not the only one who hates them....just go over the the M5Board and read about how many guys there have switched to Eibach's.... If you like them and it works out for ya, then great! Now go get some shadowline trim!

I am pissing in H&R's cornflakes, not yours. I feel that H&R dropped the ball for our xi's. I actually got rid of my car because of the springs with the harsh ride and vibration I experienced as a result.

was because I miss my springs and my ride! When my 535 was in it's prime it looked badass (but the comfort seats blew goats) The springs were one of my fav. Mods. The difference in ride quality was barely noticable for me! The H&Rs make the xi look a thousand times sportier and better then stock.Lev is just looking out, he had a terrible experience with his springs and is trying to keep that from happening to any fellow E60ers. I can't blame him for his hostility towards H&R, it was a horror story! From my personal experience I think H&R is just as good as the rest, but my experience was nothing like Levs! Enjoy my springs
