Non-Sport e90

CaptainKibbles · 02-02-2010, 07:37 PM

Hey guys I purchased a set of H&R Sport springs but i've searched around and had no luck with this question.... Since my e90 is non-sport, will the springs not lower it as much as it would if I had sport suspension?

I think I remember reading that the suspension is softer so it will actually lower it more than with the sport suspension.

I think there is a sticky thread with how much each spring will lower each car.

I believe that the lowering rate for all e90 on H&R sport springs are the same. The only concern you will have if you put on the springs, using stock shocks, is that it will wear down your shocks faster. And the ride won't be as good

It will end up at the same height. Sport just has shorter stock springs so they are starting at a lower height to begin with.

Think of the E90 as a woman. The non-sport is like wearing 3" heels. Sport package is like 2" heels. Lowering springs are like sneakers. Doesn't matter if the woman goes from the 3" heels to sneakers or 2" heels to sneakers. She ends up at the same height.
