How does the car ride compared to the stock springs?

Absolutely amazing. I have the H&R Sport Plus aka Race. These are the same drop as the normal H&R Sport, but quite a bit stiffer.

Compared to stock:
-comfort: almost identical. Bumps and undulations are definitely more pronounced, but not crashy whatsoever.
-handling: quite a lot better than stock. The body roll is reduced as is nose dive under hard braking, etc. Noticeably stiffer in all EDC modes, especially Sport mode. You feel every bump and stone under the tires, the feedback is awesome for canyon carving.

*the key here is to modify the stock front shock mounts by shaving 8.5mm, and E36 M3 bump stops up front (ie. Exactly as the Dinan kit lol). This ensures OE suspension travel is maintained despite a lowered ride height. This is what prevents the nasty crashing and bottoming out of the front shocks on bumps and potholes.

Search up the thread by Marek that details this procedure and combo.

This is the first time I've liked how a car rides on springs, although I bet the fact my shocks are relatively new and fresh (I only have 32k kms on my car) has a lot to do with it. I've always loathed cars that are lowered on springs as per my experience with past BMWs, but these or Swift springs work wonders with the ZCP shocks and modifications to retain stock suspension travel.

Had my trusted custom exhaust fabrication shop cut and extend the stock MPE tips. Finally it looks legit instead of sunken in, even worse with my diffuser.
