Pulled the trigger on a set of H&R lowering springs. I have a 228i with M sport package and haven't seen anyone test fit the M235i springs on their 228i so I'm going to be trying them out tonight after work. I'll report back tomorrow morning. Crossing my fingers that they'll work for me.

I've been emailing with H&R about them, actually. I asked specifically about the M235i fitting the 228i, but they couldn't say either way yet. The part numbers for 320i, 328i, 335i are all the same, so I figure M235i would fit 228i as well.
When I was emailing with them a couple weeks ago, they said they had a 228i in the shop currently and should be ready with product in a couple weeks. So we should have a definite answer any day now I hope. |

Just spoke with one of my techs at the dealership and he'll be doing the install tomorrow morning. I'll start a new thread with pics so this one doesn't get cluttered up.

Looks great but am curious how the adaptive suspension will be affected with the dampers lower in their stroke. There has to be a calibration issue with changing the ride height. Maybe I will throw this question out for the tech guys.......

In stock form, with much softer springs than H&R, adaptive dampers have to work in wide range compression states depending on pay load (fuel, passengers and luggage). My experience is that damping response genuinely adapts and copes v well with lower, stiffer springs. Maybe because the range of compression states may be less than stock. |
