[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 205718, member: 3452"] Still under full review guys, haven't given it the full spectrum of road conditions. Also, the 1 week break in period for the springs is not done yet. BUT I will say this, I have no general ride comfort issues thus far. At this point, with limited mileage on these, I'd have to say they're just about 10 to 15% stiffer than standard i.e. only slightly stiffer. It does make the car feel 'sportier' I think, which is rather cool. I will not lie, however, there is some bounce with the stock shocks especially on higher speed dips and bumps. On lower to medium speeds, the progressive springs do manage to catch most of the bounce. I can't say much about the handling at this time (still evaluating), save that there is a little bit more steering feel and the car feels a bit more direct going into corners. I think I'm going a little faster into corners for some reason, I find myself having to apply more brake pressure at my usual braking points. I really only expect some reduction in roll, to have big results you'd need the sway bars and matching rate shocks. On looks, the car looks great, so far is sitting noticeably lower than sport package E90s. I am quite happy with the aesthetics, its not too low to be a major pain but low enough to look sporty aggressive. [/QUOTE]
