New to the site. Just got my car yesterday and super excited to start doing some small mods.
First thing I'm looking to do is drop the car slightly. I have a 2015 335xi M Perf. Edition on the 20" 405's. Looking to install the H&R sports this upcoming week along with spacers. If anyone else has the same car with the same type of setup, I would love to see some more images along with details on what size spacers you went with. I'm thinking 10mm up front and 12/13/15 on the back but unsure what will provide the best looking stance. Thanks and look forward to digging into some more of these threads! |

Hey all,
Man i commented 8 months ago and since then only a couple others have commented haha. Anyway, i did end up going with the h&R sports back in March. So far, it seems decent on the street. I've been contemplating getting some coils instead and have been looking at KW's (which would be ideal) as well as some cheaper options like BC Racing. My budget prefers BC Racing, but after doing some research, I'm not sure if this may be the right route. Been thinking about maybe finding some aftermarket struts to match with my H&R Sport springs as a better option than cheap coils. My car: 335i X-Drive w/ dynamic handling Driving Type: Mainly city, with 5-6 track days a year I've been searching to see if there are any posts for Xdrive specific struts that would match up well but am having trouble finding anything. If what kzflags says is true, that would be quite disappointing. |

save your money and go with the kw v1 kit.
i started with the h&r sport springs and it's way too low and crashes way to often. h&r needs to redesign these things imo!

Forget the budget coilovers. You pay what you get. Use the money for some track tires like nt01 or R888 and some track (brake) pads for your track days. You would benefit much more. Bilstein or KW v2 with EDC delete. |

Next step: Springs and Shockware. What is your long term assessment of the H&R springs, upgraded to KW? Your being from Toronto means some degree of snow and irregular roads- how does the mod handle? Have done 40 k from Ontario all the way to deep QC Laurentides - Saguenay and back. Saguenay- best driving twisty hill/mountainous road country I have seen anywhere short of BC...Body roll is a bit of an issue- but about as much as tire temperature and quality. On a chill day it makes little sense to push. Given any thought to Dinan Shockware? thanks, M |

hey guys I have a 320i xdrive on 18s, if I want a minimal drop front and back, and maintain the ride quality of oem or make it a bit better, I NEVER EVER RACE, SPEED, OR CORNER HARD, performance means nothing to me, I drive a lot and want comfort and looks.. I am planning on going with a set of h&r springs, but due I also need spacers and bumper stops?? not sure what to buy here..

BMW 328i xDrive - ST suspension (KW) lowering springs -30/20
Before/after (next day) Not the lowest setup (vs H&R sport) but still hitting hard when road is bumpy... But braking and handling performance is much better! Wheel cap (fender to wheel) before: ~13cm, after ~10,5cm all around
