H&R Springs
So I am getting some H&R sport springs for the 335xi coupe. Wanted some feedback from you guys. Are you happy with them? The amount of drop, ride quality, winter, etc. Thanks!

Ha, just got your pm
Heres recent pics I have that show the ground clearance with the aero lip, plenty for winter... car rides better than stock imo, much more controlled but you'll notice dips in the road a little more. I have nothing but good things to say about them |

I think it looks perfect! I hope mine look like this. Don't want my car to be slammed, just looking for a small drop to get rid of the SUV look! Thanks again for the PM!

hey if you want i still have my stock suspension if you want it... the springs make the xi suspension go in about 10k and would be a cheap way to go instead of buying new shocks

The rake did not change enough. And now that I have driven on my KWv3 I would not go back.
Here's a pic of the front and how hight it sits with H&R on way back then.

20k miles is about accurate. If the shocks failed at 10k you would see tons of posts about this. |

So you did not like them because the drop was not enough or because of the ride quality compared to the KWv3's? I know the KWv3's are best but i do not want to spend that kind of money on a leased car.

I mainly did not like them because of the uneven result drop really bothered me. Only after I drove on the KWv3 did I find the suspension movement more controled and more compliant than the H&R sport springs.

Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it. I think your car looks good in the above pic but i can see why you went with the KWv3's.
