They ride stiffer than stock; relatively speaking, not as harsh as the JIC Cross setup on my 996T. I just went to Streets of Willow this past Friday... pretty neutral once I shook the rust off from 4 yrs of absence. The suspension doesn't feel under-dampered/over-sprung with the stock shocks.

I do wish I had swapped the stock wheels back in, as I pretty much ruined my front left Mich PS2's. Need to go back and run CCW to even out the tire-wear...

For me, if Ferrari were to build an entry-level front-engined coupe, it'd be the M Coupe. Solid chassis with rewarding handling. Car is a blast. I'm also running the Supersprint Race exhaust... sounds great from the cockpit.

hey could you give me some insight on how the ride feels and handles. Im planning on dropping my Z4M (on H&R springs) within this month. I have heard that springs give no handling improvment and is just for looks. Is the ride stiff? How are you handling driveways? thanks

Looking good. I may be alone on this, but the "Time Attack" theme is getting a little played out, IMO.

i had just installed the h&r springs and absolutely love it. it didn't jeopardize the comfort and i can feel it cornering better. i was very pessimistic at first because i had installed h&r springs on my 996 turbo and it was the worst set up ever.

X2 above...

It's slightly stiffer, but nothing drastic. Handling is solid, and the shocks aren't under-dampered with the new springs. No complaints.
