Installed H&R Sport Springs on my Mineral Gray 435i xDrive M Sport

nickmanderfield · 04-26-2014, 02:41 PM

Good afternoon, internet!

I had H&R Sport springs installed a few weeks ago on my Mineral Gray 435i M Sport X Drive, there were/are no Super Sport springs available for the x Drive, but these Sport springs are perfect. Feels like a mix between Comfort and Sport mode in Comfort now, but I actually prefer it as all of my previous cars have had pretty aggressive suspension setups.

I got this set in yesterday, I was rushed, had about an hour before my tire appointment to get the stock wheels put back on (which leaves the ride notably more firm than it was on these 18s). I REALLY like the look on the stock wheels, but no time for photos yet!

Beautiful car and perfect ride height!

Carnook · 04-26-2014, 04:27 PM

What kind of tire dressing did you use?

Qwkdraw · 04-27-2014, 03:50 AM

Magnificent......That height with those wheels look absolutely wicked.....cudos!

XenaBimmer · 04-27-2014, 08:28 PM

Looks sick man, nice work!

seamasters · 04-28-2014, 04:46 AM

Nice, but i think it needs black kidney grills.

Damn Dirty Ape · 04-28-2014, 09:18 AM

Looks great! That's quite the price for wheels there - quality ok it sounds like? Would the bmw center cap fit or not?

Thanks guys! Maybe black grilles when these wheels are on, but with the stock wheels back on I would say no? I'm not sure yet

They aren't built for the track, but they have been selling that brand for a while with no reported issues, it's just like buying any other non big name brand wheel. Center cap did not fit but I could've bought some and put them on (different size), I also bought the little ///M stickers for the spots on the wheels but totally lost them - stocks are back on now so not worried!

So no new struts or shocks? Do you have DHP?

jadis · 05-19-2014, 12:48 PM

Where did you do the install? How much for the springs? How much to install? Would you have a dealer do it?

jadis · 05-19-2014, 12:51 PM

Also, which H&R springs? OE Sport? Sport? Super Sport?

No new struts or shocks yet, wanted to see how it handled first, trying to not buy coilovers basically

Perfect drop.
