I just installed the H&R springs and spacers (12mm front, 10mm rear), and couldn't be happier. The ride is virtually unchanged - slightly stiffer, but I really like it in 'Normal' mode. I can switch to 'Comfort' if I'm transporting people, and it's virtually the same as before. (My wife can't tell the difference, and that's the real test.)
Here are some pics of the car post-install and some close-up shots showing how the tires/wheels really fill out the wells with the new springs and spacers. I would highly recommend this mod for anyone.

Car looks great (really great)! I liked your last one too but this one is way beyond...But?
Keep an eye on those spacers?I?ve posted on this before?every time I?ve used H&R spacers (two of my E60?s and most recently on an MBZ E-Class)?I have had moderate to severe rusting between the spacer and hub after about six months time.
Keep an eye out and report back?I hope it doesn?t happen to you?but given the fact that I have experienced it three times now with three separate sets of spacers on three separate cars?it makes me wonder. Last time we discussed this?some people (much more knowledgeable on the topic vs. me) speculated that perhaps it was the two different metals coming in contact with one another??
