Rode around with my H&R sports on my base 128i for some time now, and as my friends and I try to reinstall the oem springs in time for turning the car back in, we realized that the shock settled lower to match the lower H&R spring height. Problem is that we can't compress the OEM spring enough to fit the tophat ontop because of the lower height.

Anyone have the same problem installing the OEM springs back on? Any shops around socal that can do this?
