H&R Stage 1 or Stage 2? - for non-sport 740i on Bilstein Sports - 18" rims Hi guys, I have been trying to figure out what option I should go for : H&R Springs -Stage 1 or Stage 2. By reading all the posts here and all over the internet, I read different opinions on different situations, but could not really find an answer to my exact set-up. I have '98 non-sport 740i on 18" M-Parallels. Its my project car that I had for many years now, and just recently (5 months ago) I got to do the SUSPENSION. Car has 102k on it and its suspension never been touch, in 17 years I recently installed BILSTEIN SPORTS on stock old original SPRINGS, ride is actually enjoyable and responsive , however I would want more stiffness to it and would love to loose that ugly gap on my fronts. That seems got way bigger after I put new BILSTEINS. I don' t really mind the rear gap since its not that bad, but front really needs some work. - My first concern is if I go with H&R Stage 1 (1.3f/0.6r) - the front gap still will be there and rear gap will be slightly reduced (can live with that). - My second concern is if I go with H&R Stage 2 (1.9f/1.3r) - then the front gap will be nicely reduced, but rear gap might be way too much reduced, where it might be inside the fender and have this really low look. - I leaning towards Stage 2 but not sure if that will be to stiff to drive and if the car will be too low. Any ideas and suggestions? - Also does anyone have NON-SPORT 740i on H&R Stage 2 and Bilstein Sports on 18inch rims? (M-Parallels preferred). Having a photos of this set up will make much easier to make a right decision. Thank you guys. Your answers will be greatly appreciated!!! http://www.cardomain.com/ridepost/63...-bmw-7-series/

Cool. I used the H&R Stage 2 on my '98 740iL with 19" wheels. Perfect drop and rode well still: http://www.cardomain.com/ridepost/4529220/14252478/1998-bmw-7-series/
