    I have just put H and R springs on my 2011 458 and the ride quality is horrible. Has anyone used aftermarket coilovers on their 458? I'm looking at K sport or maybe even go back to stock and just lower it on those. Very frustrating. I put BC Coilovers on my old R8 and it rode amazing. Any suggestions would be great.

    Might want to up the suspension budget. H&R springs are really just meh across a wide range of makes. Novitec springs, as mentioned above, are quite good.

    k sport is probably going to end up being similar, but I don’t have any direct experience. I put k sport in the same budget category as BC racing.

    I actually had BC coilovers on my R8 and really liked them but I think I may just go back to stock

    Novotel springs are the only way to go on the 458.
