E92 springs/shocks

'V' · 08-25-2014, 01:10 PM

Got myself confused again!

I have an early e92 se (56plate), can someone tell me what sort of shocks/springs I have.
I've read all e92's are the same (se + msport), others say the springs are different, others say everything is different.
I've got a set of msport springs to chuck on as a temp measure before I lower it properly next year. The gap in the arches at the moment is huge! Looks more like a 4x4, will putting msport springs on do anything?

If I go H&R or eibach will damage the shocks?

Cheers

i believe only the 35i's have m sport suspension on SE & M Sport models.

But i would say just invest a bit more money and get a better set up front the start.

H&R Springs are fairly cheap. and then invest in a decent set of shocks. I've got Koni Yellows which are pretty great if you ask me.

People do run H&R or Eibach on standard shocks but the ride will be bouncy before you know it with blown shocks.

non 335 Se it's definitely higher than msport . If you have the spring and can fit your self , don't see the reason why should you spend extra on H&R's or eibach's specialy if you planing to loverit properly in the future .

Ok cool thanks guys. Makes sense now.
I've already got a set of msport springs and can have all the work done for free so not really an issue.

Trying to budget on this as I know I will be changing them for something better over the next year and I have a few other things I need to get done as a priority so spending the extra just isn't top of the list right now.
If a cheap set of eibachs or H&R's comes up I might be tempted
