e92 335 40% tint + H&R sport springs (NO 56K)
A couple people have recently requested pics of my car after I got the H&R sport springs installed... so here they are.
It wasn't a huge drop, but it was enough to make the car stand "correct"  The ride was tightened up a bit, a little harsher over bigger bumps, but that is to be expected. It seems like the OEM shocks are actually pretty well matched with these springs. Haven't experienced any of the dreaded hop.-Geoff      |

Looks great!
Did you use e90 springs or are there springs made specifically for e92? If they are e92-specific do you happen to have the part #? I am debating between H&R sport and Eibach Pro-kit but am leaning toward H&R as that is what I had on my '03 Jetta and '05 A4. |

Get the M6 reps, that is what I will do in the spring. 162's belong on the sedan IMO

Looks good man, I should have listened to you and waited to buy a e92 instead of e46.
I still think that tint doesn't look that dark, personally I would keep the stock wheels I think they look hot, I would jsut get spacers to bring wheels flush. |

The alignment was way off after the drop, but I had it put back into spec. The guys didn't mention anything about it being more difficult than usual. It was a high end after market shop, so they were used to this type of work.
I am not so sure about the 162s... I think longtrans e92 looks drop dead gorgeous:  I am leaning toward the M6 reps though... but who knows what I'll think in another 6 weeks |

The box they were delivered in had this number: 50490 The springs themselves had this number: 29187 From what I read the two are the same, one is a US version number and the other is the euro version number. If you want more info, I got the springs from steve@trendix, just PM him, I'm sure he'll tell you what the deal is with the digits. |
