I love em. I put roughly 1500 miles on them going to Vegas and back for Wuste this year. I went through a couple bends that had suggested speeds of around 45-55mph at 90+ and discovered that I need sway bars now because I'm near the limits of cornering ability with just coilovers and wider tires.

I've heard NYC is notorious for bad roads and potholes. These are firmer than stock but much more forgiving due to the progressive springs (like I said above, they put V1's to shame). The only thing I don't like is the rear perch design for adjustment. It's damn near impossible to adjust the rears once you have them installed. Thankfully I nailed the ride height to the first time so I didn't need to go back and fix it. Read my next answer for more on ride height.

I'm as low as it will go in the front and the rear now. I was talking to a guy from M3post with a widebody hellrot E92 M3 at wuste who has H&R's (or did on his 335, can't remember specifics from a somewhat tipsy conversation

). He suggested getting the RWD coilover front springs from H&R to get the front to sit lower. I might do that in the future but right now I'm enjoying the stance. I haven't had to roll my fenders at all and I have zero rubbing after the alignment. I don't even feel the need for spacers with the 35mm offsets on the 19" Renn Motorsport RS-51's.

Thx AlpineSwift....great news on the follow up. Your current stance looks perfect to me. I personally don't and can't go too low because of NYC streets. Who currently makes swaybars for us?

H&R does. Don't know if you ever read further into this and I'm aware this is a very dead thread. Great thread tho AlpineSwift.
