Need some advice
I recently purchased the H&R sports spring and the 12/10 spacers. I took my car to my local shop to get my spacers installed and noticed that the rear has a nice drop. My car is a 2014 CP M5 and curious if there is any negative effect if I just install the front H&R sports springs? Please see photo bellow, rear and front are on stock CP springs.

I'm not entirely sure that you can even install the H&R Springs if you already have the Comp Pack. I thought I read about someone saying something about that. Ask Dhirm5, I think he may have a better answer for you.

RPiM5, thanks for the reply. I will reach out to Dhirm5 see what he says. Is it due to fitment? or no noticeable drop from CP to H&R? I've noticed all the cars that are on H&R springs have lower clearance in the front compared to mine. Suggesting that going from CP to H&R springs in the front will yield lower clearance, but I can be all wrong...

Usually springs are developed as a full set and so I believe that installing just the fronts or just the rears will have a negative impact. Plus from what I see, the H&R springs give a slightly raked look, so if you plan on just doing the fronts, that raked look will be more pronounced.

I've got the h&r springs on my cp m5. Rear looks about 5 mm lower at most but the front is deffo much lower. I'll get some pics soon and post them up. I checked with h&r before install and there are no issues with fitting them to cp shocks.

Would love to see a pic of your car on H&R.

So installing the springs should work fine on your CP car.

This was one of my concern just doing the front. I wouldn't mind doing all four, but curious as to how much of a difference CP versus H&R. Would the difference be noticeable. I hate to put it on and not notice anything else...

@bigfra - can you post a pic of the whole car? I love the black wheels on the blue - esp with the aggressive drop. Nicely done
I think I might wind up dropped on Eibachs with my CP. Def want a more aggressive stance - stock CP isn't low enough for me either.

I was thinking about pulling the trigger on the KW SO Kit, but I wasn't too crazy how the ride felt on my E92 M3 when I had it on. Event at comfort it felt like the car was on sports.

Dave what's your impression of Eibachs - any noticeable change in ride quality? I suspect Eibachs on my CP would actually make it a bit softer overall since the CP springs are stiffer than Eibach. bigfra - H&R on CP - any noticeable change in ride quality? Since you only have 600 miles maybe you never really got used to the CP springs?
