The first release of H&R's M235i lowering springs (28891-2) drop the car a little too much for my tastes (25mm drop).

H&R now also produces a 15mm drop variant for our car (28896-2).

See here: http://www.h-r.com/en/news/New-for-t...5i-F22_39.html

I'm very curious about how these look and perform. Has anyone here tried these?

Thoughts on the H&R spring ride from OEM? I would like a small drop, soft highway, but turns up tight when cornering or when I hit the Sport/Sport + option.

Think the H&R springs would fit the bill?

Pretty much exact same thing I was looking for with H&R sport springs, decent drop to eliminate some of the wheel well gap / less lean during hard cornering / plus still able to be decent highway car on eco mode!!! After 2 weeks of driving with H&R's I am very satisfied with mod!

Ditto from me, I have H&R springs fitted my EB m135i in the UK

Stance - much improved w/o being too low;

ride - whilst slightly firmer is v compliant in both comfort and sport modes

handling - like its on rails, gets more out of Mich PSS's and sticks to the road like sh!t to a blanket.
