Lowering Springs?

Ghost.G42 · 01-29-2022, 11:56 AM

Anyone know if a brand is working on anything for these cars yet? I'm just trying to get everything ready for when I decide to mod the car.

Subscribed. Don’t know why m340 springs wouldn’t work? Not like the 2 is lighter anymore 🤣

Exactly! Haha, I love the fact that it's xDrive but looking like a lifted truck cuz of the gloss black is a downside for me and I had achieved perfect Fitment on my Si

I know h&r are. I spoke to them a few weeks ago and they weren't too far out. Keep an eye on their social sites. Should be released in a few weeks

H&R springs… 30mm in the back 35mm in the front
Spacers, 15mm in the front, 13mm in the back

20” m performance wheels

(Not my car btw)

Awesome! Do you know what model of BMW those H&R springs are for?

I have no idea. Just saw this car on youtube with the info I gave.
Was just showing, that H&R is on it…

I tried 330 lowering springs. They’re fit, ride more firm, and I like it more then m sport suspension. But no lowering, at all. Maybe just 3-4mm for 230. For m240 may be better.

Eibach say releasing in April/May. Pic of test car....

New springs from Daehler. I think these are the first lowering springs to offically come out for the G42... You're welcome

Looks like they will be offering tuning and exhaust options as well. Never heard of them, though they seem legit.

I don't think I'd lower my car anyway, as a daily driver in the Northeast, it would be murder on the front lip. I'm not so concerned with fender/tire gap either. But if you have smooth roads and nice driveway apron transitions, looks like a quality solution.

DaveDee · 03-09-2022, 05:50 PM

It’s a concern that one model fits all despite the different engine weights on the front end. I know Eibach has been R&Ding springs on the AC Schnitzer car from last year and are not releasing yet.
MSS and KW have not yet released HAS kits yet but MSS will develop a set given their close association with Imran at Evolve
Thinking it would be better to wait and spoilt for choice

JDM_240 · 03-14-2022, 12:09 PM

I ordered the Dahler last week. I was hoping to see more nose than tail drop but 1” front and rear will be good. Not sure if fixing 330 springs would be a good idea. Rebound and balance on the 2er is different.
I’m not sure shipping time from dahler but I will keep y’all posted. Got some spacers coming from Dinan and the intake as well

Fidiman · 03-19-2022, 04:43 AM

Dähler is well known in Switzerland as you can tune your car and conserve warranty

In addition, Motec (and Eibach) will release something soon as they are testing a spring kit on their car!

Did you get your springs on yet? I wanna see it

Ravenseal · 03-20-2022, 02:15 AM

Personally wouldn’t fuck around with springs since all these cars come standard with electronically controlled adaptive suspensions. You might as well buy a proper set of coilovers.

Here is a video from Motech's youtube page showing them having their thundernight m240 lowered and modded:

Eibach are about to release springs after finalising testing and will be certified four our cars
The drop on Eibach is -15mm rear and -21mm front according to info I have
MSS height adjustable springs are now testing and they are the same kit as all 3 series so these will be the same as on the G80 M3 with an adjustment of up to -30mm below stock.

You could not go wrong with either setup, MSS use Eibach to manufacture springs to their design specifications and both are specialists in spring design.
No word on KW at this time

BeemerBaron · 04-29-2022, 10:26 PM

MSS Springs are the clear choice for me.

I'm waiting for them to release their official kit of the M240i, the one featured on YouTube is a test kit.
