Does it need the spacers
Does it need the spacers when lowering it? Does upgrading the wheel size from 19 to 21s make you need the spacers?

20" and 21" looks better when dropped with the spacer.

One more question. How's the ride compared to the H&R springs. Had them on my e60. Just trying to compare to get ready for my Spring/Summer Build

H&R gives you the most drop, ride quality is not as friendly as the Eibach or AC Schnitzer. Some likes it, some don't. Eibach or AC Schnitzer gives less drop, but I haven't heard any single complaint on the ride quality. Just complaint that it is not low enough,

I guess spring change is a half measure? Isn't it better to go with KW coilovers to be able to not only adjust ride height, but also adjust how firm you like your ride. IMHO half of those who change springs are doing it to get less body roll. I mean they are not doing it just so their car can look lowered. Just a reminder for those folks, maybe it's better to spent more and get it done properly, rather then do just springs and then have regrets and spent more money for coilovers

My goal in lowering is to maybe get a 20 percent stiffness increase while maintaining a modest drop. I'm hoping the eibach will be the answer

Both are progressive spring. So every inch may have different weight rating.

How does the ride feel? Did you switch from standard stock or do you have air? I'm seriously considering changing the springs on my standard stock suspension just a bit afraid i'll loose the ride.
Thanks.

I have sold lots of H&R, ACS, Eibach, and KW coulovers setup. I even installed them and drove on them. Hands down, KW is the best, Eibach/ACS is next, and H&R is last on the list (unless if you can suck it up and all care about is the looks). I did use H&R on my standard suspension, that's because I have no choice and I don't want to be shy on the drop, so ACS was out of the question and Eibach wasn't even released in the US yet. Thanks to KW to release the V3 when I only have less then a year left in my lease. But, I would run KW whenever it is available for street setup. I will avoid other Taiwanese or Chinese brand coilover for sure. Told my friends not to do it, and they went to other shop who is willing to do it, and they bitch and moan by my ear.

Mine doesn't have air suspension, but it rides like stock. Feels tighter on turns, but so far I'm loving it.
