H&R sport springs installed love em

01330cisp · 09-03-2009, 10:19 PM

Installed the H&R sport springs on my 01 330ci and i love them. Install wasnt hard and it was a great bang for the buck. The car already had the sport package but you can easily feel a difference. I'm actually very impressed with the stability in the corners. I didn’t think it would be this much better. It’s stiffer but not too stiff and the drop is just perfect. Can’t wait for the 18" csl wheels. I searched on the forum for a while before I made the choice for the H&Rs. Thanks to all for the great advice.

That sounded good man. Can I get the dip on your OEM?

Nick@Jlevi SW · 09-04-2009, 06:29 AM

Good choice on springs, absolutely love this setup.

thanks guys. and yeah no shocks yet lol didnt have another 650 bucks to drop ill probably wait till spring bc the car wont be driven in winter. but about the old springs if you want them we might be able to work something out. they have 70000 miles on them so they arn't real stiff. I'll get some pics up tomorrow

Congrats and welcome to the club. I've had my springs on my stock shocks(sport suspension) for a little over a year now. The ride is still as perfect as the first time i installed them. Ive had the suspension checked when i was in Germany, and as soon as i got here to the states in June. Both dealerships said they were in perfect shape. Don't let people scare you. If the shocks go bad, just replace em.

djnekkon · 09-06-2009, 02:52 PM

1.4 and 0.75 of an inch won't affect the shock/struts. That's why H&R sport is the best bang for the buck. H&R race will be another story. In for pics soon.

01330cisp · 09-07-2009, 09:53 PM

the first 3 are with the springs installed and the last 3 are with the old sport springs installed. Like i said it wasnt much of a drop bc i already had the OEM sport package. it was about .75 in the front and .25 in the rear. Still made a world of difference
