Comments on RD Sports Spring

Hey all,

I am thinking of getting the RD sports springs for my F10.
I have Adaptive Drive and Dynamic Handling package, which kinda stopped me from going full coil-over (still need that bit of comfy ride for the mothers and missus).

I know we have a few members here whom have had the springs installed for awhile. Any feedbacks will be welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I like them a lot. Frankly feels how I would imagine the sport package should feel out of the factory. Height drop is nice and not too low so I'm not scraping in the front going over inclines. Normal mode feels great, I haven't used Comfort much only on one long drive. I leave it in sport most of the time. So far I'm a big fan of the RD Sport springs.

I believe lacster also has rd sport spring, but he does not have the adaptive handling pkg...I'm sure he will chime in, or just shoot him a pm...

Hey Kfiend,

Coming from the stock F10 suspension w/o sport or adaptive handling the RD springs made a big difference. Feels a lot more responsive and less like a boat I'm very please with the comfort of the ride still and will recommend it to others but I like a bit more stiffer suspension and control so I'm switching out to KW coilovers and maybe front and rear struts once they come out form the car for a little more control. Hope that helps make your decision Your car would look sick with a little drop to it

Thanks Kev! U r always great help!
Just made up my mind to order them, checking right now to see if they have the RHD version.

Can't wait to have my car lowered.
Thanks again for the kind words!
