Which lowering springs for an 56 plate e92 330d SE.

Don't want it slammed but lowered to a nice stance.
Would msport springs do the job? And are all msport springs the same?
Cheers

The h&r sport springs seem popular, iv bought some for my e92 not had them fitted yet though. Search h&r sport springs in forum and you will find loads of photos

I went from MSport to H&Rs on 18" wheels and quite pleased with the result....i've got my MSport springs still available if you want to go OEM route, i could sell it real cheap to you

I'm actually considering just using msport springs. Was quite happy with the ride height oft 335i on msports.
Can I just pop the msport springs into an SE then?
Any difference between spings for models? Ie 320i to 330d etc.
How much would you want?

Mine are coming off in a week. Pm me if you want them mate. Ill help fit them if your close by.

Tried sending u a PM, but it wont go thru for some reason?

Not sure how much they go for, but is £40 reasonable enough?

I'm in Reading, where abouts are you?

I fitted h&r sport springs to my ES/SE but it was too low imo. Cheapened the look of the car and made it look too modified.

I have since taken them off and fitted msport springs. better ride height completely and drives much nicer now. Also doesn't look as modified

I'm in manchester, there's a set On the classifieds now for £20 but don't think he will post so was looking to pay similar + a bit for postage

No idea why pm's aren't working, hmmm!

Does it look exactly the same ride height as an msport or lower? ( might be a stupid question)

[koolance]

Sorry to barge in here guys being a first poster and all but if anyone is looking to offload e92 m sport springs after 'V' gets his set then drop me a pm! :-)

The springs determine the ride height not the shockers so looks exactly like an msport


H&r's




Msport




The h&r's seemed to sit too low at the back. And reverse rake doesnt look very good

Ok cool, thanks.
Need to sort a set by the weekend so I can get them fitted

[Mr Rauf]

Sorry to take over the thread however I had a similar question as OP.

Will it be fine to fit Msport springs or H&R Springs to a normal SE suspension on a e90 320d?

[Jase 320d]

I fitted h&r springs to my SE shocks

Front drivers suffered massive failure within 10k miles

I have since fitted the msport springs to the SE shocks and everything is hunky dorey.

Obviously not ideal but on msport springs i haven't had any negative issues.

When running the h&r's you could tell the car was under-dampened and really could have done with stiffer shocks

On the msport springs it rides pretty good and feels much better matched

[Mr Rauf]

M sport springs it is then mate

Where did you purchase yours from?

[Mr Rauf]

Just did further research which mentions m sport springs will only give a drop of 15mm which will be hardly noticeable?

Any other springs you guys would recommend which will be suitable for se shocks?

[gaza01]

if you want the sort of H&R drop then you should really be looking for msport shocks in at the least. Ideally a set of after market lower riding shocks. But definitely not SE as they aren't designed for the stiffer / limited travel in the suspension that is required for low

Look at the photo i posted showing msport springs on my 320d

The height looks bob on imo.

I got the fronts new from eurocarparts and sourced the rears 2nd hand from ebay
