535 H&R or Eibach springs?
I had h& R's on my e60 then went BC coilover and loved it, but now i have a F10 and she needs to be lowered asap so what springs do you all recommend ?

I returned to stock height as the lowering springs over-stressed the upper ball joints and they wore out rather quickly. Replacement wasn't inexpensive as I had to replace the entire upper A-arm! |

Depends on how low you want to go. I had Eibach on my last car and I couldn't clear some speed bumps without scraping. Had I installed the H&R I wouldn't have been able to get over the speed bump at all! I had also installed Sprint springs that were between the Eibach's and H&R. IIRC, for the Lincoln LS Eibach was about 1.1 inches, Sprint was about 1.5 inches and H&R was something like 2 inches. With an already low clearance car 2" could make some dips, speed bumps and driveways impassible.

KWV1's. biggest improvement on my suspension since the F10 is pretty damn heavy. I can hit corners and 360 on ramps without breaking tires but when I do the car sticks. and it's all preference but none of the Springs in the market would allow my car to sit as low as I want without going coilovers

I went with H&R for my 535i when I had it. It was just the perfect amount of drop. I had it on for 2 years before I sold the car.
