335 sport springs....H+R, Eibach, etc.....

kujo · 01-01-2007, 01:40 AM

Anyone know when a set of aftermarket sport springs will be avaiable for the 335 ?

I know there is a new part # for the e90 335 with H+R as compared to the 330.

Anyone have any inside info ?
I want to lower the car just a little bit.
I had H+Rs on my e46 ZHP and was very happy.

Thanks,

kj

Just had HR SPorts installed on my e92. Ordered from Steve@Trendix.com who is on this site. $270 delivered. Lowered 3/4" in the back and 1.25 in the fronts. cheers

H&R sports for the e90 will fit on the e92. Drop is approx 1.2" rear and 1.3" front, if I am not mistaken.

Personally I would wait for an E92 specific solution (there may already be one as H&R lists different part #'s for the cars on their website) Weight distriburion of a car is a delicate thing, and while I am sure the e90 springs "work" ie lower the car to a visually pleasing level without destroying the ride, might as well have those german engineers put in some work and do some testing on the E92. On the audi S4 platform H&R had a specific spring for the wagon which weighed almost the same as the sedan but the weight was distributed differently.

Got any pics? I am thinking that would be perfect, as the front of the E92 is noticably higher.
I would like to see the finished look!

Vinobien · 01-02-2007, 10:36 PM

It is perfect - no pics. 1.25" was perfect in the front. The springs are specifically made for the e92.

I am concerened about the back on mine. Right now with my 19's the rear looks perfect. I don't want to drop it much, if any at all. That is why i wanted to see it.

I am going to put out a pic request, I think that would be easier.

The word I got is that the E92 specific H&R sports springs will be available in 3 to 6 weeks.

Vinobien · 01-05-2007, 11:45 PM

As I mentioned earlier the e92 Sport Springs are available now - I have them installed. See above.

What is the part #? I want to get a set for my E92 but just want to make sure I am getting the right set

Vinobien · 01-06-2007, 12:00 AM

Don't know they are now installed. PM Steve@Trendix who's on this site. Delievred from him for $270.

photos off the car when you installed the HR sports springs?

picus · 01-10-2007, 01:39 PM

I just put H&R sports on mine too, I'll shoot some pics tomorrow.

picus · 01-10-2007, 03:27 PM

Shots some pics today. Excuse the mess, I got it undercoated to. Total drop was 0.9 rear and 1.0 front, it should settle about another 1/3rd of an inch. I think it makes a world of difference in the stance of the car, especially up front.

MichaelATL · 01-10-2007, 03:51 PM

did you have the sport package prior to drop?

also guys, the front may be higher due to the weight of 2 drivers... then it would level out?

All e92 335is have the sport suspension, but yes I also got the sport package (which is basically just the seats). The front well is higher because the wheels have more of a turning radius in front, it's like that on most cars.

Yes; one of my customers had them on his space grey coupe (not sure if he is on e90post). He isn't rubbing, but I think he would rub with 19's; it's pretty tight in the rear; looks too slammed imo. I'll see if I can get him to take a pic.

also, what types of shocks are you running/planning to run picus?
and everyone else, what are you considering.

I'll see what I can do next time I see him.

I'm looking at Koni FSD's, might do it in the spring.
