I had em on my X along with whiteline swaybars... Too stiff, too low, horrible. Not buying again.

P.S. The stance of the car is good tho, so if you want them for show, these are the right springs for you.

Have them, love them also. H&R + Cusco stiffeners = better than a budget set of coilovers!

Man, the back of that thing is dumped. That's a lot of drop for a non-coilover setup. And what (looks aside, anything looks better than stock) do you guys like about these springs? How do they handle?

I don't have the H&R Springs but I can give you my experience from my WORKS springs.

The wheel wells in the front of the car are cut slightly higher and are therefore larger than the wheel wells in the rear. This is pretty standard for all cars because as you know the front wheels have more motion (turning etc).

Having said that, If the springs lower the car evenly (i.e. 25 mm on all corners) then it will appear as though the rear is lower than the front but the reality is that it is not! To be sure you can measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the ground effect both in the front of the car and the rear. I would suggest doing this behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel.

As we all know the springs may settle a bit but it will not completely change the appearance.

Hope this helps.

p.s. You get use to looking at the ground effects and the whole car not the wheel wells. I am more than happy with the performance of my WORKS spring and how they make look of my car.

For one they are inexpensive. I paid $230 shipped.

Second the drop is equal looking all around. A lot of other spring pics that I've seen show the rear of the car lower than the front. I know this is not the case with my H&R springs because I didn't have to adjust the headlights after the install.

Third, they're German made. A lot of BMW's roll on these bad boys.

As for handling, a little on the stiff side, but soft enough for a daily driver. Body roll is almost non-existant, no issues so far hitting bumps at speed in the corners. I also like the fact that I'm not hittling the bump stops all the time even though I did not have them trimmed at install.
