So I put H&R Race springs and Bilstein Sports, along with new control arms and bushings and shock mounts front and rear, on my 87 325is. It's been about 4 days now, with about 300-400 miles of driving, including a very high speed and bumpy AutoX (hit 65-70 mph). The car sits 1/4" higher then my 85 325e with H&R Sports/Bilstein Sports. Doesn't make sense... The springs fit in the strut loosely, I can move them around when the car is jacked up. When it's down, the spring sits in the upper and lower perches correctly. But it just sits higher. It feels slightly firmer, but not rock hard like I was expecting. The 325is weighed in at 2730 lbs, the 325e is 2800 lbs on the same scale. 70 lbs isn't going to drop the car 1". Tires are the same diameter as the 325e. Is it going to settle that much over the next few weeks?

Why are my H&R Race springs higher then H&R Sports?
