We all know that coils are better than springs but WE also know that the M5 is not a track and car and for most- H&R springs (with all their RandD and history) is a reasonable way to go for those who want form and some function.

Who cares anyways, its a 100k sedan that weighs over 4k lbs. Seems like a lot of overcooking here. I had H&R springs on my M5 and had no issues in higher speed turns and sharp curves vs the OE plus I got a lower but not super low stance. Maybe some want to keep their EDC? Didnt one think about that? Not everyone wants to tear out their entire OEM suspension system on this car.

Maybe before one spouts out with information you should check the spring rates on the H&R springs vs the OE. My ride actually felt better over minor bumps and undulations with the progressive springs.

Obviously KW is better but its all relative to ones wants and needs are with their car. For the masses H&R has been the choice.
