To be honest you won't notice. Unless your a pro racer and hitting bends at crazy speeds lol. The springs are actually for the se shocks.

Shere · 09-12-2013, 06:01 PM

Interesting, this may speed up my whole thought process!

Josh1a1h · 09-12-2013, 06:33 PM

You should be fine on stock shocks. It wont bounce around much, but if you had a 335i with a bit more power, i would upgrade the shocks to handle the power a bit more.

I had my H&R and Koni Dampers around a track a couple times and they perform very well without any other suspension mods or braces.

To be honest for an every day car the springs are all you need as they will make a big improvement anyway.

rhysh1990 · 06-15-2014, 03:22 PM

Doesnt seem to have changed

rufnekfatboy · 06-15-2014, 03:33 PM

See what you mean, it don't look any dif... Very strange...

You sure they were std before?

rhysh1990 · 06-15-2014, 03:41 PM

Yeah got them in the boot. The left side has defo dropped it was higher than the right side and is now lower. I took measurements before so il park up at the same place tomo and remeasure

richk84 · 06-15-2014, 04:01 PM

What springs did you fit? I fitted H&R and the drop was spot on

Sorry didnt see this yeah h&r sports

richk84 · 06-15-2014, 04:25 PM

Second hand? Or brand new? Check the part numbers?

rhysh1990 · 06-15-2014, 04:39 PM

Brand new and they were the 29187-1

gaza01 · 06-15-2014, 05:30 PM

Is that the right springs for yr car? Both engine and car type need to be correct. H&rs give you drop so something isnt quite right

rhysh1990 · 06-15-2014, 05:45 PM

Yeah pretty sure its a 330i and its all that was listed supposed to be a 50/25mm drop although i expected less due to being on m sport springs anyway. Hoping they will settle a little lower as they were fitted 3 days ago

gaza01 · 06-15-2014, 05:53 PM

Got any pics?

Ok. Give them a few days to settle. They will drop nicely
