For sure, I drive my M4 and X5m50 in sport plus the majority of the time. The X5 is my wife’s daily and our road trip car though, so I don’t want her to get pissed if I noticeably remove the comfortable ride. By the sound of SQUAWK3274 experience, the H&R’s seem plenty comfortable without shelling out the extra cash for the MSS. Just trying to see if anyone else has any experience with either of the two.

Even still, it’s a less harsh than the F95 stock suspension setup, if you have driven one of those. Only complaint was that they didn’t drop it a bit lower..but at that point I would probably be complaining about a bouncy ride. Can’t have it all!
Yes, Im on H&R spring also and its not harsh at all, I dont have DHP so I was looking for stiffer ride also.
Now, not sure if its because of the wheel 22 vs 21 but my rear isnt lower like yours. mmmm

Also the rear passager is 3/8" higher than rear driver side. Do you guys have it like that also? I thought it will settle with time but 5 months later still the same. I may have to reinstall it again.
From the bottom of the rim are.
Drivers side is 28"
Passenger is 28 3/8"

Do you have spacers as well? And if so, which ones and what size front and rear? Thanks

Hello new follower. Are you still feeling comfortable ride, do you notice bad tire ware and did you finally fix your 3/8 dilemma. Thanks
