These all look so great.

I have to get mine done quick.

What is the final verdict on the part number for the H&R now that some time hads gone by and several people have lowered on H&R?
Thanks.

H&R does not produce lowering springs for the M8 Coupe, per the company statement they are being developed. I went with KW adjustable coil overs. I am very pleased with the result.

Yes, they have a part number but they are not available for sale at this time. They are not even listed on the H&R website.

I did KW a bit ago and clearly they are great--- not only because we can adjust our height but their spring rates are dialed. I had H&R's on my F90 M5 and both sets (I tried two options) were bouncy. It was like I got that one extra rebound bump

Compression and rebound coupled with spring rates are key here. Its worth the extra 700 or so dollars IMHO.

Sorry for not being clear.

I have a convertible.

I like a little rake to the look so all these cars I'm seeing are sitting beautiful or FAB as a famous forum member once said.
