H&R Spring M2 OG

alecm2 · 12-06-2020, 07:00 PM

debating lowering my car and was looking at H&R, had a good experience with them on my RS3. How long should it take to install? and im assuming I should get a alignment after? Thanks for any input !

Don't do non-adjustable springs. One corner tends to always sits a bit uneven and you have to live with the preset ride height. Go with a HAS kit.

I have the H&R's on my car. I love them. All corners seem to be pretty even in my opinion and I am pretty picky.

Passenger rear tends to sit higher than any other corner. Have confirmed this on 4 different bmws I've owned over the past few years. It's not H&R's fault it's a bmw thing. Maybe to account for passenger weight or the fuel tank? I have no idea but all I know is I had to have my rear passenger side spring set lower than any other corner just to get it sitting 100% evenly. Maybe unnoticeable to the untrained eye but I have OCD and it was a problem for me.

I will have to take a measurement when I get home and the car is on flat ground. Now I'm interested to know.

I was pretty happy with them. Install is about 1hr if you have done one before.
