Really happy with the ride. The H&R Sport with PSS is so much better than the run flats and OEM suspension.

Please don't mind me joining in.. Not 340..but just got this H&r Sport Spring on my non x drive installed today. So happy with the result that I feel like sharing it. There is absolutely no impact on the comfort level.

437m wheels look great. Did you stay with m3 tire sizes? Any rubbing?

Most of you guys running stock shocks?

Sorry to crash the party. Here's my wife's f36 on h&r sports.

On a side note, is there a way to lower the car more without getting new springs or coilovers? I wish it was a tad lower.

I switched to the Bilstein B14 kit - but installed it at the height that the H&R Sport springs were when they were installed.

I would strongly suggest anyone looking at the H&R Sport springs upgrades the dampers, or go with the Bilstein or KW style kit. The ride on those Sport springs and stock dampers is absolutely unacceptable, IMO.

Just out of curiosity. Does bilstein make the B16 damptronic to integrate with the OEM adaptive sport modes?

My recollection is they either just came out or are coming out soon for RWD, but not for xDrive.

What about just the springs did you not like? Was the ride too harsh or was it just too bouncy?

Bump. Interested in lowering the car as well. Just don't know the route to take since I don't really want to delete EDC.

Ground Control coilover conversion kit - similar in concept to KW HAS and oem MPS for M3/M4 - GC kit uses eibach springs and retains oem adaptive dampers.....
