^^ that looks great but probably too low for my daily driving. How is the ride quality compared to your stock ones?

I'm planning to go from M sport suspension to Sport H&R. Wondering if the ride would be harsher.

for my daily driving, no problem, for me that's not too low.... The ride quality is the same like stock, no bounce.... nothing, for the moment that's just perfect.

I have had mine on bilstein b8's and eibach pro-kit's for almost a year. Swapped out the runflats as well. Night and day difference. No complaints.

I like that setup inChargeOfIT

For those with lowering springs, do the fronts look higher than the rears??
I noticed that from the ground to the fender that the rear is lower than the fronts at stock height.

I think this might be true on the 328i

Is it the same for the 335i's? I want to try lowering springs and see how the car responds, and then move on to a shock/spring combo or coilovers, but I don't want to have the rears look a little lower than the fronts.

I was planning to put my f30 on H&R Super Sport Springs and in the near future, purchasing 19in. wheels. Does anyone have any feedback or knowledge on whether or not the wheels would rub against the fenders? Or would you recommend me getting H&R Sport Springs instead? I am riding on stock 17in. wheels right now.

Lowest possible ride height with springs

I had Megan's and H&M's super sports and they weren't low enough for me. I've done extensive research and I keep hitting dead ends thanks

Does anyone know how much lower the H&R sports springs are compared to M Sport suspension?

Need help with my BMW lowering setup.

Hello guys.
I have a bmw f30 320d, I’m from India.
I recently ordered for the cobra lowering springs with a 30mm drop. I had a few queries regarding the fitment and the safety of the car. Currently I’m running on 245/45/R18 OZ wheels and Continental contisport tyres.


I just got the springs, I haven’t installed them yet. It’s gonna be a 30mm drop. Is there anything else I have to do? I’m currently running on a budget. This is gonna be a daily driver for the new few months.

Any kind of advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
