According to Tire Rack, Koni's are an option:

Yes, thank you for replying to my post from 2010. Amazingly, in the past 4 years, other companies have developed shocks for the E90 xDrives

how is the ride quality with H&R sport on stock shocks? i drive a total of 38 miles a day (most of it freeway however).

Less travel than OEM when going over uneven roads - perhaps mildly jerky since the springs will get stiff more quickly. Overall impression, the car feels more planted but not "on rails" as you would experience with a more track oriented setup. This is probably preferred and echoed amongst other members for street/daily use.

This is based on non-adjustable or oem shocks. The springs are only one part of the two (main) components for suspension. Your experience is highly dependent on the roads you travel and your threshold for a sporty ride.

It's not bad for me. On hard bumps, it gets slightly bouncy in the rear. It's not uncomfortable though.

Eventually I want to get some Koni Yellows, but for right now it's decent (for me.)

H&R Sports on stock shocks. I had the sports suspension previous to this.

I'm on 19x9.5 +30 up front and 19x9.5 +20 in the rear.

Tires are 235/35/19 up front and 255/30/19 in the rear.

I should have at least gone 40 in the rear as opposed to 30, because the side wall is pretty thin. That said, I would need some fender liner modification, as it does rub slightly but nothing crazy.

Thanks that helps.

Thank you! I can't wait to do more; but you know how that goes.

Thought i'd throw in my setup and hopefully get this tread going again! 2006 330xi
Wheels:
F: 235/35/19
R: 265/30/19
H&R Sport Springs OEM Shocks
Adjusting camber soon and putting m3 bumper and lip on.
Either looking at options of raising the rear end a few tenths of an inch or switching to coilovers, the rear end set a little to low for my liking.

I was reading from the previous post that if you have a X drive the front will be a bit higher. Just my 2cent.

You are correct, but i did a camber adjustment as well as fender roll and 15mm spacers on the rear and she looks much better.
Got the bumper and lip on! ??

Gorgeous cars here.

19x8.5/9.5 5MM/10MM spacers. 235/265 with Koni Yellow Adjustable's. -2.0F/-2.5R Camber/Toe = OEM

R99 · 09-30-2015, 06:30 PM

Does anyone have any pictures of some E91 Tourings with these springs?

I have just ordered some for my touring - part number 29187-2 which I think is the Euro part number we get over here, so I'm guessing they will provide the same drops as these pictures!

Contemplating the same setup for my touring...would love to see what yours looks like when they settle.

R99 · 10-01-2015, 03:40 AM

Yeh, I'm struggling to find any examples though!

Tommy R · 06-27-2018, 09:43 AM

Resurrecting an old thread because I've been looking at some H&R Sports for my '09 sedan and I have a question.... It looks like the H&R Sports may lower it a bit too much. Some cars here look super low, especially up front. Is there a way to add a spacer above or below the springs to tweak the ride height? Yes, I could do coilovers, but that's not currently in the budget. For now I'd run them on my OEM dampers.

By the way, I am considering other springs, but the next "milder" spring looks to be the Eibach Pro-Kit, which looks like an OEM sport package. I want a bit lower than that.

Thanks!
