My Ride: 545i - GONE
Default

Hey All,

So some of you know that I recently got my suspension done at SonicMS, and I've got my factory Sports package springs laying around. I noticed someone else posted theirs for $100, but I really dont care to charge anyone for factory springs. Anyways, shoot me an offer of what you got, I'm open to pretty much anything (if I need it). Otherwise I'll let these go for free in a couple of weeks, just come pick them up.

Also, I dont know if the springs for the Sports package are different from the springs of a standard model.

Forgot to mention, I likely won't ship these...I'm all around the Bay Area, so we can arrange a pickup.

I shouldn't see why it wouldn't, unless you have a wagon.

I don't think they'll work for the 530i. I think the spring rate is different.. due to the additional weight of the V8 vs. the weight of the i6 motor.

Are the H&R springs lower than the sport springs and does it handle any better?

Yes, the H&R springs are lower, and I personally think it handles better. The H&R springs dropped the car about 1.4"
