It drives great around corners but unfortunately, the biggest difference is having to take speed bumps soooo carefully. I scrape a lot, but I don't have regrets

Well, it's been a few months and cosmetically, I love it. It looks so good sitting low! It has settled really nicely.

update photo

Could you attach a picture of what the final height looks like now that it settled? Why did you choose the sport spring and not the race spring?

The race springs would've been lower and the sport springs are definitely low enough so I'm glad I went with sport.
Here are a couple recent pics I have handy at the moment.

Lookin good there miss lookin good . . .

How are the springs holding up with the stock struts? Driving wise, how's the comfortness? I'm still contemplating on doing springs or coilovers simply because of the price BUT I'd rather have good quality than not

Still no problem with the stock struts, but that's only a matter of time now. Comfort is great, except for speed bumps obviously. Yeah, I went with springs mostly due to it being cheaper.

I'm totally new to the suspension stuff, but if one just does the springs and not shocks, what happens? Shocks go bad eventually? Like what happens exactly?

And after how many more km's?

I don't know much about this either, but I'm told the shocks will need replacing within a year or so. I will know when the ride starts to feel rougher.

Sorry to bump and old thread but do you, by chance, have the part number for your h&r springs? I just installed a brand new set I ordered from amazon with the correct part number for e93s (H&R 50490-5) and my car sits way low (tires tucked in) and they haven't even settled yet! I'm thinking accidental switcharoo at the factory

I was wrong, sorry. Talked to an H&R rep and he told me even tho the component numbers might be the same, the rear E93 springs are identified by a big white dot next to the part number. I confirmed mine have the dot and the e92 and e90 springs don't. So I guess my car just sits low.

Hows is the ride with the H&Rs now the car has settled? Mine is kinda bouncy but I haven't done the fronts yet, still waiting for the adjustable Konis to show up.
