Has anyone installed HR

I am planning to drop m440gc. Was wondering if anyone has done that and what spacers you used?

Take some time and use the search function within this forum - there are plenty of threads on this very subject.

Plenty of info on m340, didn't find anything on m440gc. There is a tread about if 340 springs will fit 440, forever however its abandoned.

I guess the question so stands if someone installed them on m440gc. Would also be nice if that lucky person share before and after pictures.

My apologies, I must have incorrectly interpreted M440 for M340. In my opinion I wouldn't think the installation would be radically different than a M340i. H&R provides the lowering averages for their springs so you should be able to have a pretty good idea of how the car will sit. As for spacer requirements that will base solely upon your wheel/tire setup and the aesthetic look you are trying to achieve.

No worries at all.
I want to keep everything stock as much as possible. I think my stock wheels will look really good with my combination. I have bicolor spike wheels that come with cooling package. just wanted to see how it will look with proper spacers.
Mike suggested anything between 12 and 15.

Since there is not much info on the forums for this specific car, I recommend you start without spacers.

Let the car settle, then decide on the correct spacers for you.

Are you suggesting installing springs and than see if I need spacers?
