530e lowering springs installed
Picked up new 530e end of last year. Overall satisfy with her but feel like the car is too soft for me (sometimes it's like driving a boat -- of course it is quite comfortable without a doubt). Installed set of h&r lowering spring yesterday and really happy with the much improved handling and the look . -- it is low yet not too low.

We're they the H&r 35mm springs part number HR287215.
If I use them I will get 35 mm drop as the variable dampers ride 10mm higher than M sport- M sport drop is 25. |

That is a perfect height. After seeing your pictures I think it's time to lower mine as well. Can't stand that wheel gap.

I have yet to give any springs that are advertised compatible for DHP cars. Would love to drop mine a bit but have read people who chance it have had their dampers blow out.
