Just letting you guys know that I'm being sent a set of H&R M2 specific springs for testing. I don't know how much I can share as of yet but I'm sure you all will be getting some feedback and pictures very soon!

Update. The ride is great. A little stiffer than stock but that's expected. Turn in felt sharper. Handling characteristics can't really be measured on the street. All I can say is I love the way the car responds and rides. Perfect height for some meaty fitment and track adventures.

Update. See next page for info and pictures. Now available.

Springs arrived. Different part number than the m3/m4 so that's good. It's also starts as the part number for the super sports. So more aggressive right from the jump.

I could have pictures of stock vs drop. Drop with stock wheels, drop with stock wheels and 15-20mm spacers all around. A custom 18/19" track setup and 20" street wheels. Can't wait.

can't wait to see them!! I plan on keeping the stocks and just powder coating them, the only wheels I think look acceptable on this car are FI-R/RI-D's haha. I can find a few other things to spend 8k on right now.

interested in spacer info as well! congrats again!

Honestly I'm not entirely sure what I can do. I will find out.

They share the first half of the part number with the super sport m4 springs. Not the regular sports. The designation after the first half is different. So I'm assuming the drop with be like the supersports

They are on the car. Will have full pics tomorrow. No they aren't the same part number as the suspensions are completely different. They are similar to the m3/m4. But this part number is f87 M2 specific

Little taste for the hungry folk. Not too conservative, not too aggressive. Rides great. Real pics come tomorrow. Not settled yet either.
