So after driving few 1000 miles on mine I think m550i springs are little bouncy in comfort than stock. For me best set up has been suspension in sport for normal driving and comfort for drag only. Sport plus is honestly not needed with these unless h really want it. Car drives perfect in sport.

I just had my 550i springs installed and I'm very happy with the overall look and feel. Much more aggressive stance and already had multiple compliments which is a good sign! 😊

Thanks to Ben r33_RGSport for all the help! Great service!

Does anyone regret going with the 550i springs?

- Too low, scrapping driveways?
- Issues with shocks?
- Alignment issues

About to pull the trigger.

I went to a local shop. They work on euro cars.

I did it on my first F90 and on my second F90. No regrets whatsoever. Could you scrape the front, yes...but if you're used to driving a lowered car it's not bad at all. I am programmed to hit all questionable spots at a 45 degree angle.

M550i springs before and after

Here you go. RG Sport did the install today. Love it! The look is perfect. The suspension is very slightly stiffer, hard to notice but what you really do notice is lower center of gravity, less lean when you turn quickly. Makes this car for more like an M3 and feels amazing at freeway speeds 80-100 mph.

I took RG's suggestions and went 18mm/11mm F/R. Perfect fitment. They made the whole process very easy for me and had everything in stock.
