H&R Vs RD sport

[SilentAttack]

What do you guys prefer? I see alot of people running both. Im looking for the best drop without sacrificing the ride quality. I plan on putting the E36 bumpstops with either spring. Are they both 1" front .08" rear?

I did some research on that exact question and decided to go with RDSport on my E92 when it arrives. I almost posted this exact thread but just ended up searching around instead. From what I read, both setups seem to be quality, but RDSport is considered to be the slightly lower of the two. For me, I like the lower look and most people I read seemed happy with them.

Also tipping the decision in RDSport's favor (for my situation) is that the RDSport factory and HQ is only a few miles from me. Having them do the install is a big plus, especially if/when I add sways and other pieces in the future.

I don't think you can go wrong either way, though, especially when replacing the bumpstops (as I am as well).

I look forward to people with experience chiming in as well.

I was thinking the same thing so far just wanted to see if anyone favored H&R for any reason.

Im ording my RD sport springs soon also...I see a lot of people do this and I was just wondering...what is the reason and advantage of switching to E36 bumpstops??

another option would be swift R-spec, been hearing a lot of good things about them.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but the point of using the e36/e46 bumpstops is to retain the same spring travel so your not bottoming out. Lowering car = decreased travel, so to retain stock travel you need different bumpstops.

I use RD Sports with e46 M3 bumpstops and never bottom out, even on big highway dips at high speeds.

Im pretty sure thats right. Im just going to do it since the springs will be out and its easy to replace

Thanks for the info... that makes sense. So I need to make sure to get me a set of E36 bumpstops too then.
