H&R Springs

Thinking of getting some H&R springs but I'm concerned about getting into my works car park. Its a multi story car park with pretty steep ramps, don't wanna swap my springs and then be scraping my front every day.

Anyone running H&R springs who regularly uses these type of car parks?

i'd like to know the same thing as i have an e90 m sport and was opting for H&R springs until i found out they may be too low and realy hard for driving around. I also need to get into car parks like yourself so i thought about the eibach pro kit but everyone says it'll hardly drop it so that's out of the question. Then i thought about sportlines as the ride is much better than H&R and lower than pro kit which is perfect yet i'm not sure if its a little too low!

Annoying dilemma

Should be fine as long as you dont put a front lip on your bumper.

Does the Aero Front Spoiler count as a 'lip' in this scenario?

mines fine, the two flaps at the bottom of the front bumper under the car rub sometimes but that's it. Just go slow.

I had H&R on my RS4 and it sat very low, but that was a 40mm drop.
My MSport 330d has Eibach Pro springs and sits perfectly, Ive not scraped on anything yet but it is definitly lower than stock

Looks awesome but............

I did about 40 - 45 on my e46 and wont do the E90 because of:
Could not get in the local college (I sometimes work there)
Could not get in the local recycle centre (I have stuff to dump sometimes)
9 speed ramps on my daughters new estate for whatever reason, took too long to get there
On visiting a friend in Edinburgh I drove like a granny due to ramps

You get the idea, looks good, yet a pain in the arse.
