Who has installed the H&R Springs?
Hi all,
I know ashburyn54 was a tester for the new ///M2 H&R springs; He was kind enough to post some pictures and give a brief review... I believe they are up on the H&R website and available for sale... So anyone else get them yet? I'm really curious to hear what people think of them. Seems like the perfect way to get *just* enough drop to improve aesthetics as well as tighten up the car a bit. At a good price point as well.. Anyone with them, please post pics and reviews -c

I have contacted H&R but their springs are not available yet in Canada. I am interested in feedback as well.

Ballsy move fella give that H&R M2 sport spring part nr are the same as M3/M4.
Must feel somewhat overdamped as stock M2 springs are ~ 30-40% more than std M235i springs. H&R sport rates aren't that much stiffer than stock [maybe <15% more than std at the most]

Track times will be the best indicator - So anything worse than a 63 sec lap will be a fail. |

I used the M2 with its 235 specific sport springs on the track today.
I was using Hankook Z221 semi slicks. I was confident these tyres would show any shortcomings these springs have. The group was made up of a lot of BMW track cars as well as a couple of M4,s and a lone C63. Short answer is I will be keeping these springs. Car was stable everywhere, minimal bodyroll and no bottoming out Times are on the link below. http://racing.natsoft.com.au/results/#2 |

Hi together
Have installed the H&R 28802-5 @ my M2. I think it will be also little bit lower with time then now. Also i have 10mm spacers each side fitted. |
