H&R Sports before and after. Also 15mm spacers up front and 13mm in the rear.





The drive feels OEM to me. The looks are better than OEM to me.

H&R Sport - front only. I'm sure they'll settle a bit more but at the moment it's exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully they don't settle too much more.



mirob Are you still just running the front springs? How is the ride/handling? Also, what spacers do you have? The last pic in your post looks just right with the wheel spacer setup you have.

Feel free to share more pics, anyone with H&R springs. I am leaning toward Super Sport front, combined with regular Sport rears. Anyone looking for the opposite and we could swap?

Yeah, still on H&R Sport fronts only. I'm on MAD 12mm F/15mm R. I love the stance but I also feel like my car is much lower from the factory in the rear than a lot of cars I see on here so fronts-only worked for me. Ride is basically like stock. I do rub like a mf up front though but I'm also on 20's squared so that doesn't help.

Here's a couple more pics. Wife's car is in the garage and I'm too lazy to move it so angle sucks. Sorry.

Ah, ok. The 20's up front, are they wider than the 19's or just larger diameter? Thanks for the info and pics.

Yeah, they're wider. They are exactly like the rears, 285/30-20. I'll try to take some better photos for you tomorrow.

Here are a few more pics. My goal was to have the same gap front and back.

[NicolasB]

Awesome, very helpful photos/info! I was leaning toward super sport H&R springs, but thinking regular sport will be adequate.

Looks great

Is there a height on the HAR that gives you good clearance but also gets rid of most of the gap? Was quoted $1200 installed out the door.

Hey, I also live in Houston and was wondering what did you end up getting.

E1 Motorsport. R44 Eibach Front Only Springs. 20MM drop in the front with 12mm spacers. Perfect.

12mm spacers all around? How much did installation cost?

[MackyT83]

12mm all around. A bit of rubbing at times but not enough for me to care. With the kit and spacers plus install was 1100 out the door.

I have a G80 Comp with the SS. I’ve decided I pretty much need to drive around out of comfort mode. The slight extra bit of travel gets me sometimes. Speed bumps….need to be VERY slow and the under tray air diverters near the front suspension make contact with just about every speed bump. I like the look of the SS, but you need a stiffer front spring and damper setting to make it less stressful. I also live on the North side of Houston (The Woodlands), up here it’s fine besides speed bumps though.

Have you tried going at them at an angle?

When I had HPF and EAS lower my E92 M3 the install was a couple hundred bucks and the springs were like $300. Your quotes are coilover prices. Those are just stupid prices. I can get an Audi R8 lowered for way less. Is this due to Bidenflation? Lol

+1 lowering a car should never cost thousands of dollars in labor

Glad to see I'm not the only one who just wants a slight drop to decrease the gap up front. Kept going back and forth between H&R Sports or M Performance HAS. For what I want (comfort mode still feeling like comfort) and a mild drop - seems like H&R Sports are the perfect option.

Any recommendations for local install in Vegas? Seems like a lot of the shops haven’t done the install and quoting 7-8 hours on an xDrive. May have to take a drive to LA.

The highest rated shops are

German Motors
Southwest bimmers
BMW Only

I did my suspension work at NV Auto Pro, they are not BMW experts but it's a simple job that any mechanic can do with ease. If i recomember correctly the charged me 3 or 4 hours total
