H&r sport springs w/ stock shocks&struts

wheretas · 09-10-2015, 10:52 PM

hey guys so i just bought new rims and tires for my 325i 2006 e90. I got the Avant Garde m590's rim 19 which im super stoked about! but Now i want to lower the car and i was thinking of getting the H&R sport springs, but i wanted to know the drawbacks of just changing the springs. Is the ride uncomfortable if i have the H&r springs with the rest of stock setup? is there any mechanical drawbacks? any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys

yes many mechanical drawbacks. your car will ride like shit and the shocks will be blown in very short order. get either koni yellows or bilstein b8 to match with those springs. also expect your car to ride much worse than stock but handle like a go-cart.

Yes, your stock shocks will get blown out very quick. Stock shocks cant handle that much of a drop. Let me know if you have any questions about different shocks or coilovers!
