Got my H&R springs installed
I went to my friend's shop yesterday and he installed my H&R springs and #1 pads all around (and did a bunch of maintenance). The rear dropped 1" and the front only went down 1/2" so far. I'm thinking once they settle the front will be about right and the rear is going to be too low. I'll probably have him put the stock #3 pads back in on the rear.
It rides much better than I expected and definitely takes corners better. I've only put maybe 15 miles on it with them so that's about all I've noticed. It still has the stock shocks for now. After dumping $2k into the car over the last several weeks I decided to wait on them for awhile.

I don't think the fronts will go down enough to even out, u might have to make cut to a coil(front) or raise up the back for even stance...Remember every number u go up on the pad there is a 4mm diference!!!!

I don't think they'll go down enough to even it out (I'm expecting maybe a 1/4", if that). I just need to let them settle fully so I can figure out how much the rear needs to be raised.

This is my E55 with #1 pads in front and #3 pads in rear, with H&R springs.
