h&r sport springs !

beefboi · 09-30-2010, 12:05 AM

Hey,, i drive a 328xi ; therefore, only the sport springs would work on my car. However, is lowering the rear and front by 1. 2 inch a big drop? Or its barely noticable

Mind posting pictures for me to see?

i love how other cars, there tires are almost touching the body of the car ehehe

Remember the xi sits a little higher than a normal RWD. Don't forget struts and shocks too. Your car will be bouncy when paired with the stock struts/shocks.

yahh i knowww i m planning on getting coni yellow shocks

but is 1.2 inch drop a significant drop?? will the car still look nice

brocklanders · 09-30-2010, 01:28 AM

i think what hes trying to tell you is you may get more of a drop because your car sits higher then the rwd and the drops are usually measured from the standard rwd model

beefboi · 09-30-2010, 01:51 AM

i saw the springs for XI
front drops 1. 2
rear drops 1. 3
but yeah... i want my car to be low... but i think h&R springs with coni yellow gives a better performance than kw coilovers

there is separate H&R spring for Xi, the 1.2"F 1.3"R drop will be based on the Xi standard.
Then the answer is drop will be descent. You can't expect flush drop from it. I maybe wrong.

is that enough to have the tire get really close to the body itself?

EuroB6 · 09-30-2010, 10:54 AM

Yes , the car will actually be really nice with that drop, but it all depends on what size wheels your going with as well. With my 19s everything sat FLUSH

no it will not! my car bounces nowhere! it is one hell of a smooth ride, when you hit bumps, it hits kinda hard but no more than the next lowered car, but it doesnt bounce at all.

Really? Maybe the spring rate is a little different on the xi models and it doesn't bounce as much. My car is RWD and let me tell you that the H&R sports paired with the stock/strut bounced like a mofo. It was like riding on a galloping horse. Every little bump sent the car bouncing up and down. I bought some Koni FSDs and it rides a lot better now. Way better than the stock sport suspension.

xi models the car rides fine- no bounce

I had h&r springs the ride was very bouncy and did not increase performance that much in the handling department. The drop was nice but the front gap was always higher than the rear. I switched to kw v1 suspension and it fixed all the problems. Don't do springs on stock shocks, you will regret it for sure!
