might want to list if you have sports package or not.. the difference from nonsport to h&r would prob be a huge difference.

from sports to h&r i would guess its just bumpy. not harsher but bumpy..

They give the car the drop it needs.

+1 on the sports or not.

but what do you mean by bumpy? Stiffer then OEM Sport?

And I believe the OEM Sport and HR Sport might be .25" if that.

You should specify whether you mean looks, ride quality, or handling.

handling/ride quality is shitty... but u cant tell right away... it'll feel okay at first then the quality will just deteriorate. u'll notice when u go back to stock, or get coilovers

H&R + shocks is good tho

I personally think the H&R Sport is the best upgrade. It's a nice compromise between performance and comfort. They lower the car significantly but not so much that the car will be bone jarring or undriveable.

Bumpy, like the car cant absorb any bumps in the road. Its like riding a pogo stick over bumps. Id rather have stocks sports suspension without a drop then do H&Rs alone with out new shocks.

H&R sport springs will lower a sport package equipped 3 series 1.3" in the front and about 1.2" on the rear. The ride will be more bouncy than your current setup. I would suggest getting aftermarket springs AND shocks at the same time. You might as well do it right the first time around.

Yes, this is what I mean..

But one question! Someone mentioned that they will be worse than stock sports suspension as far as handeling? I thought that if you did a spring&shock kit you car would be better on the track for handeling! I know the ride will still be rougher than stock sports suspension, but I thought it would handel better!?!? Someone please help me out..

If it is only for looks and will not improve handeling or even make it worse, then I will just do coils.

Thanks in advance!
