H&R Super Sport springs- is it just me or do they sound like a bad idea?

So the same (or similar) rates as regular sport springs but lower ride height. Does no one else see an issue with that? Even with the higher rates of the H&R race springs bottoming out stock length dampers (Koni or Bilstein especially) is a concern. Wouldn't the softer rate further exhasperate that problem?

Yep, I definitely wouldn't try them. I had H&R Sports and Billy's a few years ago, and they were a nice combo. Then I got the e90 'drop hats', and the car was hitting the bump stops constantly. It was very harsh and bouncy. I'd assume this is what the Super Sport springs would be like. I eventually switched to H&R Races with the Billy's and drop hats, and the ride was much better, even with the stiffer spring rates. I eventually ditched those and now have coilovers.

Horrible idea.
