Thanks Longtran! (new H&R sports)

Gotta give Long some props, I headed over to his place last night after work and within an hour and a half he had installed my new H&R Sport springs and some 12mm H&R spacers in the rear.

Car looks 1000% better already, no more nasty fender well gap, and even with the stock 18's the rear looks nice and aggressive with no rubbing

Tomorrow I'll be installing my OEM Aero Lip and some other goodies as well as giving her a thorough detail and 3 coats of Zaino, so Pictures will be coming then.

The H&R Sports are AWESOME, the ride is very similar to OEM, but just a bit stiffer with a more planted feeling. It's just as comfortable but less mushy and a lot flatter through the corners.

Thanks Long!

Awesome, looking foward to those pics. I have yet to see a E92 sport pkg w/ stock wheels, spacers and a drop. Do tell if you get any rubbing issues as I may go the same route.

I have no idea.

It does ride stiffer than the OEM ZSP, but it's so much better! ZSP in my opinion is too mushy and has way too much body roll.

The H&R sports firm it up just a bit more, I'm really impressed with how nice they ride given all the people that said it would turn my car into a lowered honda

Will have pics up tomorrow night.

the rear is nice! aggressive, but not crazy flush a good compromise for me as no fender rolling needed.

IMHO the front needs a 5mm spacer to even it out, i'm going to work on that next.
