I know there is no race kit, I was comparing my Sport cup to just sport springs and just race springs.. and it seems higher still than both of those.
Where are you getting these numbers from? Turner has these numbers:
Sport Cup Kit: 1.8" Front / 1.5" Rear
Touring Cup Kit: 0.75" Front / 0.25" Rear
Sport Springs: 0.75" Front / 0.25" Rear
Race Springs: 1.1" Front / 0.9" Rear

I'm just getting the numbers from websites. However the lowering will differ between sport and non sport package BMWs. Also the ZHP's are lower than other 3 series so you probably wouldn't see the advertised 1.8" drop as you posted above.
Either way, according to the numbers above, the sport kit does lower more than than the race springs as I said before

The zhp is the same height as zsp cars. Zhp are not lower than sports e46.
The sport cup kit looks to be lower than the race springs. The race springs are lower than the sport rings. I got with the sport cup kit and be done LOL

My only concern with the sport cup kit is how are the H&R shocks themselves?

They're... Fine. Ride is not at all uncomfortable on rough roads, but is firm enough to handle the lowered characteristics of the car. I recommend.Originally Posted by HokieZHP

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I guess compared to the bilstein sports. I know they are good shocks so I guess I'll try and look around for some info on the hr ones

I would say they are equal if not better since they are specifically matched valving to the springs.

the matching of the springs to the shocks is huge IMO. If you're not going coilover, I've never heard anything bad about the H&R kits...

Chris, what shocks did H&R say go with the Race Springs? I miss my race springs, but the Touring Cup Kit goes so much better with the Sport springs, the dampening was indeed way off with Race. But, I'm considering making a switch again, as I want lower/tighter. Anybody want to buy an almost brand new H&R Touring Cup Kit, lol?

They say that the touring cup has sport springs & sport cup has race springs. (or close to it)
That being said, and I've said it before, my car doesn't look comparable to cars with race springs as mine sits higher. I can barely even tell it's lowered.
