Used H&R Race Springs for a 545i/550i. Rear springs have been cut 1.5 coils for a very even front & rear drop. These were made for a 525i/530i but are better suited for a 545i/550i for a more even aggressive drop. I used this on my 545i in conjunction with a set of 20x9 et19 fronts w/ 245/30/20 Falkens and 20x10.5 et25 285/25/20 setup and it only rubbed the front plastic inner fender liners ONLY when FULLY turned and suspension fully compressed. I never once damaged my fenders with this setup and was VERY VERY drivable the 15k miles I ran the setup. Ride comfort was very close to stock when used with the oem sport struts.


$125 shipped via UPS ground in it's original H&R box anywhere in the USA. I am paypal confirmed/verified and also on eBay since 1999 w/ 368+ positive feedback w/ no negatives ever.

PS - I no longer have the Work VS-XX's so please NO inquiries if they are for sale.

Hmm very tempting but I heard these springs don't ride to well on stock sport struts.

Why are you getting rid of them?

I noticed in your sig you have a 530i. I honestly would not recommend these for a 530i as the front will be a tinge higher than the rear. Don't think you will be too happy with the look. But if you are looking to buy these new or from someone else the ride was VERY close to stock on the stock sport struts. I would have kept them if I kept the wheels pictured in my original post. I have since gone with a SUPER aggressive setup and now using H&R Fully Threaded coilovers which have a stiffer/more responsive ride. Good luck!
