E92 Springs?! Race Or Sport?

karimz · 03-17-2010, 03:26 AM

So summertime is just around the corner and im getting ready to slap on some 19inch vertini riviera rims on. but i was wondering what kind of springs should i slap on my jetblack e92??

i was looking at some h&r springs but i noticed there is a "sport" and a "race" version. according to H&R website: Sport Spring Front: 1.3 Rear:1.2 MSRP: $369.00
Race Spring Front: 2.0 Rear:1.5 MSRP: $369.00
Both have the same MSRP (good chance i wont pay that much for them.. i hope) but do i go for the lower race springs? or is the sport springs low enough? anyone have some pics of either the two? thanks.

forget H & R, get Eibach, better drop and better ride

If you are set on H & R, get sport

Eibachs with a better drop than H&R? As in more conservative, yes. Lower, no. I am currently running the H&R race springs and have absolutely 0 complaints. The H&R's drop the car a little lower than the Eibachs, while the Eibachs are known to have a more comfortable ride. It all comes down to what is more important to you, cosmetics or comfort? I say the best thing for you to do is take a ride in someone else's car who has these spring set ups then decide. Either way, you can't go wrong. Goodluck!

If you have to get springs with a significant drop, get Eibach...

If you want significant drop go RDSport. Otherwise go Eibach.

H&R Race will give you the most aggressive drop. Otherwise go with RD Sport/Eibach Prokit or H&R Sport.

I would recommend Eibach and RD Sport kits over the H&R. They both provide a better ride and lower drop.

Race springs should come only with aftermarket shocks
