Front with H&R spring, rear stock!!! on XI

carbon13 · 03-19-2009, 02:21 PM

E90 330XI.. I am trying something so far so good. H&R Springs in the Front, stock springs in the rear.

Car looks really good, drop in the front is perfect and the rear doesnt look like it`s sitting down. It looks a little like M3 stock suspension. The ride is the same, certainly if I was to do track it would be different, but for daily ride with occasionnal crazyness, it`s pretty good!!! will put some pics. stay tuned!

19" wheels, front H&R springs, rear stock.

methodtim · 03-19-2009, 03:07 PM

Oh, hey, that IS a nice drop. Very clean!

vAnt826 · 03-19-2009, 03:11 PM

Ugh. Now the rear looks too high.

This setup might work better in the coupe.

I will try later to take a better pic, I think the uneven surface make the rear look a little higher. but I like it better then the rack look. looks a little more agressive, don`t you think?

karliejai · 03-19-2009, 04:24 PM

LOL WTF? why do you even bother dropping the car!!!!

Xi as a higher front then i. With 19" it doesn`t look very nice.

Big words...!!

miraclewhip · 03-19-2009, 04:56 PM

that doesn't look even.. the rear is still sitting too high.. and i don't think running two different sets of springs with different spring rates can be very good for your ride and suspension..

clickclickboom · 03-19-2009, 05:13 PM

I would suggest getting some stock zsp springs from an i and install on the rear.

Ray · 03-19-2009, 05:48 PM

I wonder how this set up performs? Any understeering issues?

Bart@AUTOcouture · 03-19-2009, 06:06 PM

just put the rears on.. u will sleep better at night

no. car performs very well. their is not a big difference from stock xi springs, but much better then all H&R springs. I find the rear to go up and down when using H&R in the back.
P.S. sorry for all the spelling errors, my first language is french...!

Spydeputy · 03-19-2009, 07:10 PM

when u take the next set of pix, take them at eye level for a drivers eye view. one f/ a slight front angle, and one f/ a slight rear view. this might best show the line of the car, as your set up is seen by others.

look really good. i have a 335xi E90, and might just try this. thx!

moveswiftly · 03-19-2009, 07:37 PM

it looks awkward...looks like the cars got something up its arse

carbon13 · 03-19-2009, 07:39 PM

the same lot of pictures but this one gives a better look. still, the street is uneven, rear looks a little lower when it`s even. will try tomorrow to get a better one.

TwinTurboXI · 03-19-2009, 09:47 PM

looks great, how much did they cost?
