H&r springs

vcnyc_ · 03-23-2014, 09:25 PM

How many inches do you guys think that are acceptable to lower the m5, I want a nice look but not too low

I have the HR springs and they look perfect. I cant remember the hr size chart off hand. Some guys run the Kw coilover springs for adjustablity lower stance for looks and some for track use. For me, it is low enough. I think you will like the stance of it when installed.

Which type of springs did you go with? Sport,race?

I went with the sport. 99% of us with hr use this one. Trust me you wont go wrong. It is very comfortable and handles very well. There is a thread we started on here that goes into dept. Try to search it out if you could. There is alittle info that could help you

Im seriously considering it also. I don't want a crazy low drop because I would like my car to remain somewhat practical on these NYC streets.

You guys wont have a problem at all. It lowers it just right and the ride is quite nice also.

Boots, I just ordered the H&R sport springs for my CP M5, do you know if there's a difference in height after lowering between non CP and CP?

DrKevM5 · 04-04-2014, 02:22 PM

I don't think you'll get any additional lowering on CP suspensions. Very minimal if any.

I've done the h&r on my comp pack and it is lower , maybe 5-7mm difference compared to comp pack so it all helps.

Yep it will be lower. Congrats on your purchase. You'll love the new stance. Drkev is next up. Handling is great w to me less body roll. But that's my opinion. I have zero issues and the car looks great
