By chance, did you replace your shocks when you installed the H&R's? Any aftermarket spring is going to have an adverse effect on your shocks.

I did the HnR super sports a few months ago and have had no issues except for the expected extra bit of bounce that comes with lowering any car.... If you're going to spend money on coils do yourself a favor and get the best ones you can afford.I know a guy with an M240i who has BC coils and can't stand how harsh the ride is....
I figure I'll just drive until the m-sport shocks go bad and just replace them with Bilsteins when the day comes...so far so good. Absolutely love the looks. Last edited by SoCal_NSX; 07-03-2018 at 12:08 AM.. |

Yes it's an m-sport(I think all m-sports come with adaptive susp) The HnR Super Sports came highly recommended from the guys at mod Bargains for those who just want to do springs. For me it was easy choice since I already have them on my nsx and have had no issues with them and love the looks... I went with the Super Sports because if I was going to spend money on lowering it, I wanted it to be noticeable.... I don't think the Eibach, Dinnan, etc will give you a noticeable enough drop especially if you already have the m-sport suspension. Anytime you lower a car you are going to give up some comfort, but to some the looks and performance are worth it. I'm lucky enough to live in one of the newer areas of So Cal and the roads are great, so I've had no issues except for the bit of bounce that comes with lowered cars. |

You're also right about it not being really that noticeable with the more modest choices, the Dinan springs barely look dropped at first in pics I've seen. What I meant was not about comfort, I like a stiffer ride I've had some really low cars in the much worse roads of NJ/NY haha straight crater potholes everywhere. What I meant was more about not wanting to blow those adaptive struts since I like em and they're probably extremely pricey. A thought I've taken into consideration now that I've driven out of warranty this year. But I've heard nothing but good about H&R so that's def in the running and yes I enjoy some good driving in Socal too and track/autoX, I want to be rid of the of body roll lol. Thanks for the input ! That NSX is fiya too. |

Not necessarily the case. The best way of finding out if you have adaptive suspension is going to https://www.bmwvin.com/, typing in your VIN and searching for 2VF. If its there, you have adaptive. If you dont, youll probably see S704A, which is just the m-sport suspension package. |

Yeah I might be confused... I still have my window sticker, I'll check it out when I get a chance. I know I don't have EDC, but I do have the comfort, sport, sport + mode buttons. What is the difference in the adaptive and m-sport suspension??? |

And I've had BC's in the past. Never again. There's a difference in stiff like t he H&R springs, and harsh like BC coils. The ride was horrible, mostly due to the linear springs up front. Great for track duty, but not day to day driving. I also really enjoyed my H&Rs with stock shocks, and I haven't heard of anyone's shocks failing because of their aftermarket springs. I only upgraded to coilovers because I wanted to go lower. It rides a little softer, but not a game changer. The lower you go, the stiffer/rougher the ride will be. My son still falls asleep in the back without a care in the world. |

Glad the suspension does the trick for your son. My daughter is 2 now (almost worse than a newborn), when she was a newborn and constantly crying, I'd drive her around the block a few times in my Stage lll Golf R (430hp in a car that weighs less than 3k lbs). The boost would calm her down. The boost would come on real hard in that car and pin you back. I'd drive around, hitting boost whenever there was an opening and voila! No more tears! Now I might not win any awards for greatest dad in that comment, but you're pretty much willing to do almost anything to stop hearing the constant wail of a baby. |

I love this thread!! I just purchased a 2016 328i with the plans to install H&R Super Sports on them in the near future. I don't plan on tracking it, it will be my daily driver for work. The only concern is, with the super sports, how much will camber be affected?

1. Roads aren't all that fantastic in Malaysia. 2. I live in a high rise where I'd have to go up and down parking ramps. 3. Lots of speed humps on Malaysian roads. 4. Planning to stick with the current M-sport wheel and tyre combo. Was hoping to see some pics of anyone that may have used sports instead of super sports springs. |

Super Sport springs on the F30
I just bought a car with Super sport H&R springs. And I'm nervous about driving it in Michigan with potholes and some bumpy roads. Does the Under of the car scrape on a normal road for anyone??
