H&R Sport Springs
 

It's getting time to replace the four springs on my 300SE, I already have Bilsteins HD's on all 4 corners and a 19mm sway in the rear. I'm leaning towards the H&R Sport springs, how much do they change the ride and would the 1.4" lowering effect the geometry of the suspension?

I think it will definitely have an effect on your suspension. By how much? Not sure. Do it, and monitor your tire wear, especially the inside tread. I wouldn't try to adjust anything until after you see where and how much adjustment is needed. I just recently got my suspension near perfect, meaning that the alignment is is tracking straight and the tires are making full contact across the treads.

It'll be a considerably stiffer ride (at least on my old A4 it was) - quality product though. Let us know your thoughts after some time.

Make sure the HDs don’t bottom. I think Bilstein has a Sport option for shorter springs.
