H&Rs installed on 14 550i.

Pics to come.
Impressions.. Lowered it.. I have about 2 fingers in the front. 2 in rear gap on stock 19s. So after it settles I know it will go even lower.

Driving.. To be honest. Feels the same. Exactly. I thought it would be a lot stiffer in sports + but I really can't tell you I noticed a difference.


I haven't aligned it yet so maybe that's why. Any thoughts?

I know you guys want pics.

But if you read my post im asking a specific question, the people with installed springs, how much stiffer did it get vs stock, if you already have msport model.

Ill pos pics when car settles in a few weeks. Fresh spring installs need time to settle.

I have a 2013 550i with H&R installed for about 4-5 months (something like that). I have exactly 2 fingers in the front and a little less than 2 fingers in the rear (about 1.5 fingers)

I'm so amazed how my H&Rs dropped my 550 over 2". I want to install them on my 2014 but want the same results. I hear so may reports of only an inch drop.
