How's the ride quality for the H&R springs? Is it stiff?

Also, is #2 pad oem pad?

springs are not cut.

I think it varies what pads the car comes with, depending on options. Mine came with a #4.

Ride quality is firm, but bouncy with stock shocks. I changed the shocks to koni adjustibles, and it's much better

Could you make it a little lower if you wanted it too? Like cut springs or what not?

I like to have the tire tucked under the fender a little more. Can you just get the springs and lower to he size your perfer before having it installed? I am not talking about coils, coils you can adjust whenever but with these springs just make it fit the way you want the first time you get it installed.

Thanks

What is the best susp. that I can have to lower my C32, yet keep the comfort in the car? I have a E36 S/C M3 with the Ground Control susp. on it and I am starting to get tired of it cause you feel literally every bump in the road. I am not gonna be going to the track or anything but every once in a while take the corners quickly. I want to have it lowered but not have such a stiff susp...can you guys help me find the best susp for what im looking for?

Thanks alot!!

KW v2, Carlsson RS, Bilstein PSS9, etc are few of the best out there. they have the damper setting that you can adjust. also H&R cupkit would be good for you because it's a lot softer then coilovers.

if you are only looking for springs renntech, brabus, and vogtland will probably be better for your style without changing the shocks.
