H&R Spring Kits??

Evening,

Just browsing the picture thread and see a lot of you guys have fitted the H&R lowering kit for the E70.

I love the results in how the car looks but have a couple of questions -

How does the ride compare with standard M Sport suspension, its not known for being the softest so just wondered if the drop makes it any different??

In relation to the air assisted rear shocks, how does this kit integrate with the airbags or does it do away with them??

Is is straight forward to fit??

I am based in the UK so need to find out if the kit is available to us over here, its listed on their website in $ so need to send them an email.

Cheers

Si

The kit for cars with auto leveling just comes with front springs and shorter arms for the rear sensor the tricks the system into thinking it's higher than it actually is.

I had a set for about 6 months. The ride was way too harsh for me and I took it off.

The air bags in the rear are the "springs" not the shocks. So if you're replacing the springs those would be gone, and you'd have to do what wsmeyer said for the sensor to avoid setting faults.
