Springs
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 'V' Last edited by 'V'; 06-08-2014 at 03:40 AM.. |

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? |

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 |

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? |

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 |

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? |

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
