1.2 was a fine drop if they actually could deliver it but it appears only the M550i is as advertised with a 1.3 front and 1.2 rear drop.
Thanks Vic

On the M550i lowering springs they advertised a 1.4 front and 1.3 rear. I have a few sets available.

When are you going to lower? Before the wheels are only after they come in? Ive sourced one set locally and am about to pull the trigger myself.
Did you pull the trigger on the M550i springs? You want to laugh?

The springs I received were actually the M550i springs that were intended for another F90 M5 owner ... the shop had already agreed to exchange them for me when they called me earlier today as they thought they delivered the incorrect springs. Long story short, I'll be going the M550i route and they're already in my possession.

The car gods ....
Those were prob mine

I was at IND this week and added Trunk Spoiler and forgot to take a set of H&R to check the rate.
I make Springs and I have load tester. Will try next time I visit them.

I might be getting a set of 21's and if so, ill be using 285x30 and 295x30
Why does everyone do 285 and 295 vs 275 and 295? Or 285 and 305?

I think I made that statement because those widths and profile settings keep the rolling diameter the closest to OEM with the 21 inch wheel.

Not the way I stated, in fact the plus sizing is within 1/10th of an inch to the better on a 295x30x21 vs 285x35x20.

There will be no way I go 21's if the gap gets bigger LOL-- Im almost tempted to go with the M550i's:

I'm returning the F90 H&R's and going with the H&R M550i springs. I've already ordered 21" wheels and these springs are not going to cut it IMO.

I spoke to Wheels Boutique whose M5 shop car is on the M5501 springs and they said ride quality is exceptional and they had zero issues w/ this set up; ride height and both front and rear look great.
Did you order the m550 springs? Is this the correct set?
