Anyone in LA with H&R Springs or Dinan Springs and Stock Wheels? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

Mind if I get a ride with you?

I want to drop my car and improve the handling, but I'm really up in the air about getting H&R or Dinan springs. I drove my buddy's car that had RDSport springs and they were a little harsh for my tastes. I figured that Dinan would be good, but I'm not really feeling the drop it provides.

Can someone please take me for a ride so I can feel it out?

Thanks!

Hey, I just replied to your PM and saw this post. H&R and AC Schnitzer are 2 ends of the spectrum. I would definitely avoid H&R. They provide a nice drop but I have seen more than a few sets of H&R springs get soft after a year and start sagging. The RD Sports just don't drop the front enough for my taste. I like to see the gap in the rear = to the gap in the front which is why I went with my set up. What part of LA are you in?

i have H&R sport and the improvement in handling was awesome. well worth it and i like the drop cuz it looks very aggressive but is still very bearable over bumps and driveways. i dont have stock wheels anymore but the comfort was not ruined much at all. in sport edc it is very harsh but in comfort edc its not bad at all

Have you consider Eibach? I think eibach ride softer than H&R. Dinan also nice but doesn't drop front as much as rear (nose dip).

It was great meeting you today, Richard.

Thanks for letting me drive your car and for the drink! The food was great! I definitely owe you lunch next time.

I loved the setup on your car and I will be doing the same.
