After coming from a '12 M3, I've been lamenting over having to get rid of it. When I decided to pull the trigger on my '13 535i xDrive, I knew it wasn't gonna hold a candle in the wind to the handling of the M3...and that was bumming me out. When I picked up the 535, bone stock it felt like a boat (no disrespect intended to other owners here, I'm coming from comparing it to the M3). So, it felt like a boat on every turn I took...couldn't stand it.
But then, one fine day, after reading up on various springs and coil upgrades, I decided to try out the HR Sports. I just got the car back this evening from the install and while it's still settling in, I absolutely fricken LOVE it. No joke. Love. 1.6" drop on the fronts and 1.3 on the rears. Feels like it's so nimble and easily throwable (is that a word?) into corners! And as for looks...just sik. The stance looks fierce and the feel of the drive is at a different level. Totally feels like a different car!
If you're looking for the best of the sedan while having a tighter, sportier, "throwable" ride...HR Sport Springs are the way to go, IMO. Btw, I picked 'em up for $256 and got 'em installed at APM in Elmhurst, IL (Chi-town burb). Great guys there and they did awesome work!
Can't go wrong with these springs! I have a new found love for driving my ride!
Mods so far: JB4 S1, M Performance Exhaust & HR Sport Springs
