I'm scared to ask, what's going on there? Spring install?

Those wheels off the E60 look pretty nice and fat!

Are those coilovers for the F10? From the looks of it your M5 is a CP? We need some context!

:-P

No major work done, just thought the shot of 3 white Ms on the lifts was way too cool not to share.

I had H&R sports installed and tell you the truth, so fart I'm a bit disappointed with the handling over my stock CP springs. The car is a bit lower (need to give it a bit time to settle, 500+ miles), but the handling IMHO is suffering.

Big Thanks to my boys over @ SONIC MS for an outstanding customer service and work ethics. Great new facility as well! If you're from Bay Area, this the only shop I would go to for tuning needs.

I'll follow up with another write up after I have more time to toy around w these springs.

Give the springs a little time to settle in, the car should drop even more as they do. Once they do the car will feel a lot more planted and firm around corners. A lot less body roll. I love the Stiff feeling in sport plus that comes with them.

Did you go from CP to H&R sport as well?

Seems a little odd to pay for comp package and then swap springs out. If you are really after performance, I think you may want to go KW.

If you stick with the H&R though, I will very happily purchase your OEM comp springs
