H&R Sport Spring F30 Thoughts

Hi Everyone,

So, I'll be up front - I'm being lazy. I'd like to gather everyone's quick opinion about the H&R Sport Spring. Literally, in one to two sentences, give me your verdit.

I've literally had my springs, brand new, sitting in my trunk for almost a year. Partly due to no time, partly due to me forgetting I bought them, and partly due to not being sure about how the ride is on an otherwise stock suspension set up.

Car: '13 320i xDrive on 19" 351m wheels and 245/40-19 tires.

The good and the bad. Give it me. If I decide it's a no go - I'll be posting the set on here for with a nice discount.

Thanks!
Enchilada

The Good: Your car will look better, drive better, and you will have many sex with women.

The Bad: You made this post.

Do it! Your wheel gaps will thank you! Better aesthetic, less body roll. The Sport springs are compliant enough that it's not a harsh ride, but the stiffer spring rate will translate to a firmer ride. However, unless you or your typical passengers are 65+, it's nothing to worry about.

In the trunk for a year? Wtf???

I have had my car three weeks and have been dying to lower it from day one...and it's pretty low as it is with the m-sport suspension.

My HnR super sports should be in by next Monday!!!


Crazy that you've had the springs that long and haven't put them on

If you're in SoCal, Mod Bargains can install them for you for like $250 in two hours

2 hours, what the hell why can't we have a shop up here in Toronto do it for that.

They're including alignment too?

Unfortunately not.... but they have a great deal right now HnR springs and install for $502 OTD

Can get an alignment for $75-$150 locally after the springs settle

Think I'm going there this week sometime

I had my H&R Sports + Bilstein B8s recently installed and I like them a lot. Car looks and sits better, more down to the ground better handling and not bouncy. I recommend them with the Bilstein B8s otherwise your ride will be bouncy overtime with stock shocks & struts.
