New H&R Suspension Options

I just checked the H&R Site and noticed a few more suspension options for the 135i. In particular the OE Sport Springs caught my eye as I had these on my E36 M3 with Koni SA and it was the best street combo ever for that car, IMO.

Thanks for fixing that link, Larry! As my mother always said, "Don't listen to what I say, listen to what I mean".

Nice, I think a 1 inch drop would be perfect. I'm not really a fan of slammed cars. I wonder what the spring rates are.

I don't know for the 135 (and we probably won't know until someone puts them on a spring tester), but the OE Sport for the E36 M3 had the same spring rates as the lower H&R Sport.

I don't suppose you know the 135 Sport (non OE) f/r rates, do you? If not, I can always e-mail H&R.

Great find! H&R makes some of the highest quality components we have dealt with to date. Definitely a recommended brand for whichever drop you are looking for.

Sorry, MastaMind, don't know but that would be good info to have if H&R will disclose it.

As Mikeo stated.

Progressive springs change their rates dynamically. So if they tell you one number, it's only going to be that number during one instance of shock/spring travel.

I think that 1" drop sounds just about right for me.
