H&R Races vs. Vogtland for Daily Driving, Help!

[dandingo]

I've been debating over this for some time now. I'm looking for suspension for my daily driver. It's an '88 325iS. I really dig the look and rake of the H&R race but I kinda wanted something softer. That's why I'm considering Vogtland.

There's really no potholes where I live and I work from home so I don't commute anywhere. Can I get opinions on how your H&Rs feel as daily drivers? Thanks!

Also, I'll be running on stock 14" basketweaves if that makes a difference.

I've pretty much decided I'm going with Races. I'm just stressing over what to get to upgrade while I'm in there. I'm mainly looking at replacing all the bushings in and around the springs. Does this sound right?

Yea and check your control arms and tie rods in front and trailing arm bushings in the rear.

assuming you already have bilstein sports. these are key to running these springs. if you havent put anything into the suspension. now is the time to do it. control arms, control arm bushings, tie rods, front upper strut mounts, rear upper strut mounts (e46 vert). if youre gonna do it, do it right.

Do you have any pics of the stance with the Vogtlands on it? How's the ride? Would I be cool with three other people in the car?

Thanks man!
