You could also go for the BMW sport springs with part number ending in 017. They are actually shorter than the stock springs, making them easier to install. They're made out of a heavier gauge wire. The soft springs probably have a dab of yellow paint on the end. The sport springs have white paint.
I've had a sort of problem with the Progressive springs in that they tend to bind. Also, they come with spacers that are not really needed and make them a bear to install.
I stand corrected. I didn't get the progressive springs, but the heavy duty (sport) springs from BMW as mentioned by Boxerbruce above. They have a white dot at the top. But I still haven't decided, will I need the spacer or should I go without? I am on the tall and heavier side, 6'1 and 210 lbs, if that makes a difference on selecting fork stiffness. Thanks!
