HELP: H&R Spring Compatibility...?

ITS_NEMESIS · 03-24-2012, 03:56 PM

Owned my 2008 328i E92 for a little over a month now, so im still learning the ins and outs of all these mods. Ive done a few cosmetic upgrades myself, but still a bit newbish in the more important categories. So I apologize if this is an easy question to answer.

So, what im trying to figure out is if an H&R sport spring kit from a 2010 335i E92 would be compatible with my model? I see quite a few people on here throwing around the idea of using different model suspension, but wasnt sure of the risk involved (if any). I know there are some restrictions if you own an XI model, but i do not.

Since H&R seem to offer unique spring sets for every BMW under the sun, im just curious if they are ultra specific for install. If i can get away with using another E92's springs, without risking fitment issues, then that would be great.

Any help is appreciated as always.

No, you'll be fine. The 328i and 335i share the same suspension.

This is very good news!

The H&R Sport springs are great, but don't forget to upgrade your shocks/struts if you care at all about your ride quality and performance.

This post is making me that much closer to buying this suspension kit.

Is this a good buy for my 2008 328i?

I have a 328xi and I bought my set from a 335xi owner.
If you have the same E9X model, then the suspension is compatible!
You'll be fine. Ride is super sporty! Enjoy!!!

It appears to me that H & R lists two different sport spring sets for the 328i and the 335i, as does Turner Motorsports, with the race springs only being identical. It is possible the company has manufactured slightly different spring rates because of the difference in weight between the 328i and the 335i. The 335i springs may indeed be compatible with your vehicle, but they may not be ideal.
