HAS kits are good because they preserve suspension travel by relocating the spring on the strut. But there are a couple of options and one may be more performance oriented than another due to the spring rates.

Do you have an LCI competition? How do you like your springs? Can you tell it’s lower, both feel and looks?

No, I have a 2018 non-Comp. H&R M5 springs will lower a Comp, but not as much. A Comp is 10mm or 3/8 lower than a non-Comp. I can see and feel the difference and so could see and feel the difference if I started with a Comp, though the differences would be less. I personally would not want M550xi springs.

This is my 2018 non-comp lowered on H&R F90 M5 springs, spacers are F:15 / R:12.5

The drop was more than I expected and I'm quite happy with the way it looks. I'm assuming it will become slightly lower as the springs settle over time.

I can't comment about the change in ride feel because I changed to these springs in about a week since I got this M5 (switched from F06 M6), but I have no issues with the ride feel.
