After a bit more research, it appears that H&R Springs have a kit that's made for self leveling rears. It just comes with 2 front springs and 2 lowering links to change the rear self leveling sensors.

I also got mixed results from other forums regarding lowering springs and EDC. Some say it will wear out your OEM shocks faster, some say it won't. I guess ill find out....as soon as I can find a shop that won't charge me a grand to install it.

FWIW, I ran H&R's on my M3's with EDC and never noticed any premature wear.

Some forum members post that their rears got "bouncy". Are you experiencing any of that?
