Red- super sport
Blue- Sport

The rears are extremely close in size and hard to see on camera.

Super sports have been installed and it works flawlessly. The ride is much stiffer than factory in all settings. Glad I went with the super sports because they did not lower the car as much on the f32 as they do the f30.

Ill do a write up when I get a few more miles.

Looks nice Andrew. Question though, it may just be the angle but what sizes are your tires, they look a little skinny. I expected less room in there with the Super Sport springs.

The last photo I posted was on stock suspension so don't go by that.

Yeah I posted above that H&r did not make these springs for the 435. I waited for them to come out with a set for the 435 to find out the part number for the 435 and the 335 are exactly the same. My drop is basically the same as a sport kit on the f30 from what I can see.

Ill post new pics when the wheels and suspension are on together..

Hey Andrew thanks for doing all this! Car looks great as I expected the super sport spring drop looks similar to the F30 sport spring drop

Cant wait for pics with the 19s on! Also let us know after driving it a bit more, would like to know of any rubbing issues or issues with clearance. I know that front bumper is already soooo low

Andrew,
A little bit off topic but what are your wheel specs? Tire size & Wheel offset.

I've got some 19" Alufelgen SF-71 sitting in my garage that I am going to have to decide about either moving onto the next coupe or selling.

Im not sure on the offset but the tire size we are going with will be 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.

3 day report with super sports and adaptive suspension. Everything is better than expected. The ride is much stiffer than the factory springs which is a good thing but takes a day to get used to it because the stock is so smooth. I haven't received any codes /bouncing or anything else I feared before installing them.

The ride is much like Kw v2 in my opinion but with a sport/ comfort setting.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Here is my final setup. Sorry for the instagram quality photo

Looks perfect Andrew... Really looks perfect...

Has anyone used the h&r springs on a car with m sport suspension? What was the drop like compared to the stock m sport?

cortex · 10-11-2015, 09:18 AM

Hi!

I tossed the standard springs, having the adaptive dampers and put on the sport springs (no sport+ for xDrive) and the angle of the front drive axis is OK, the lightning levels auto as you all know. Camber/Caster settings altered as needed in shop, lowered 3 cm front and 2,5 cm rear and now distinct - very prominent - difference in comfort/Sport mode as I wished, more planted on the road, more M-feeling. The xDrive rides to high now perfect!

Best mod for money in my book. Now I just need to get rid of em RFT next season =)
