Springs (Comp vs Stock Vs ACS vs H&R vs Eibach)

Hey everyone!

So I sold the M6 and picked up new project M5 and oh man what a boat of a car! Ahahahahah

I want to keep the EDC so I need springs.. what are best for high speed runs

The H&R are way to bouncy so no way
The Eibach I know nothing about

This leaves the ACS or Comp.. thoughts?

P.s here she is Monte Carlo blue with Sakhir interior

I have the Eibach Pro-Kits and I like the ride. The height not so much... I want it a bit lower. If I had to do it again, I'd go with the KW HAS.

I think adjusting ride heights is important to avoid the low nose look as well as handling challenges. I went Dinan as its a higher quality kit than KW, good as it is I wish I'd gone V3

I'm running KW HAS; great ride and handling with the added benefit of ride height adjustability. Best compromise between springs and coils IMO.

I had Eibachs on my old M5 and the ride was great and not as bouncy as the H&Rs but KW HAS is the way to go!

The M5 is totally a boat! So heavy, why did u switch?

KW HAS provide a great ride but may squeak after awhile going over speed bumps.

M5 is horrendously heavy lol I got it loaded and so comfy!!!

Sold m6 due to value dropping and locked up M5 for a steal!! Won't loose much when I sell and pickup new M5 next year!

I'm 6"3-220lbs lol in and out of lowered coupe gets extremely annoying ahhahaha

I run H&R springs, ride is great in all three EDC modes, Sport+ is on the firm side but still ok on roughish roads.

Wonder if there are differnet damper settings depending on region?
