picture request, H&r spring drop

philg · 08-26-2008, 09:44 AM

I have been doing a bit dig around for some pictures of a e90 with 19s and with the h&r springs. All i can find is coupes.

A before and after would be great.

Can you buy the race kit in the UK or just the sport kit, i have asked a guy at ca motorsport, he says only the sport kit available.

I think the race kit has a bigger drop.

Any help would be great.

Done a bit of a search and the eibach sport line spring kit, might be another option. I think this can be bought in the uk.

If he wants a bigger drop then i suggest you dont bother with the Eibach kit - trust me i did a lot of research before i dropped my 335i - i opted for H&R sport kit as it was a greater drop than the Eibach kit but not too low that the wheels disappeared under the arches which in my opinion looks shite and will ruin the look of the car - leave that to the escort boys!!! H&R sport kit is a perfect drop IMHO.

Eibach pros will only drop the car around 10mm from the standard M sport (I used these on mine as I just wanted to firm it up after loosing the RFT`s) Eibach`s Sportline are too low IMO (you`ll struggle on speedhumps etc and wear out the shocks too soon) HR`s eurorace are probably the best compromise without going to coilovers.
