H&R springs installed

Just wrapped up installing my H&R springs on my m235. Ordered them early September and they finally showed up. Did a custom alignment after zeroing out the toe in the front. Rear camber set at 1.15. Oem toe specs in the rear. Oem camber in the front which is 1.15 also. Definitely changed the ride of the car. I'll have to take more photos soon. But here's one for now.

Excellent!
Looking forward to more pictures and your opinion on the ride and handling.

I am also considering H&Rs, however my concern is about premature wear of the OEM struts and having to replace them. Also thought about KW coil overs, to allow for adjustability

Ride quality is a little stiffer when going over small bumps and such. Vehicle turn in is more flat now and the higher spring rates is definitely helping to mitigate under steer. I hope a sway bar option becomes available soon.

Do you have the M adaptive suspension? I heard it's harder to make changes if you have this.

No I bought the shadow line vehicle and adaptive wasn't an option once I got SL. I think due to the shadow line being slightly lower than the regular m235.

Awesome, I've heard it rides like crap without the adaptive suspension which I do not have. Doesn't sound like it's as bad as I've heard it would be. FYI, I haven't heard from anyone that actually has the suspension. Hard to find anyone in North America with any modification. Love any feedback as I track my car and would very much like suspension upgrades.

These cars need sway bars in the worst way. I did find you can get a countryman rear aftermarket sway bar as it's the same OEM part number. Still waiting for a front option.

I believe they are style 554. I got the forged option when I chose the summer performance tires.
