H&R vs. Dinan Springs

I am wanting to get some new springs on my X5M. But I am stuck between the H&R 1.2's and the Dinan springs. I am looking to maintain stock ride, just a little lower for aesthetics. I'm not interested in a full blown coil over setup, I had KW V3's on another car. While they are great, I don't need them for my X5.

Does anyone have good experience with either?

Just an FYI Dinan springs are manufactured by Eibach but built to their specifications. I mention this since most people compare these two companies most. From my experience Eibach traditionally has better ride quality.

I used to have H&R springs when I first lowered my car they were good now I'm running KW V3 which is much better but we r talking about spring not coilovers.
H&R springs r very good u also get the rear links to adjust the ride height in the back

Did you have the 1.2 or 2" springs? How was ride quality?
