As the poster above posted he has H&R springs with the adaptive dampers.
What I'm looking into doing is using the M Performance springs along with my M adaptive dampers on my 335i Msport.
I don't know if this would be better than going with other after market sport springs.
The M Performance springs are 10mm lower than what I have now so the slight reduction in ride height would not be that much and I don't want a slammed look.
Also, I don't know what the M Perf spring rates are. I do know that the M Perf springs are firmer than the sport springs.
BMW's site claims the M Perf springs are about 34% firmer than the sport springs.
That sounds perfect to me, not too firm and not too soft.
My stock sport springs feel too soft, a 34% increase should work quite nicely especially with the adaptive dampers.  |
This sounds like a really good option... anxious to hear your feedback after you've completed the mod.
I am on the fence b/w an xDrive and a RWD 335. Either way, I'd opt for the M Adaptive suspension. But If I go with the xDrive, then I'd definitely like to go with a stiffer/lower spring as long as it still matches up well with the EDC-equipped dampers.
