Installed H&R Sport Springs on My M235i!
Just got back from European Auto Source again with another update for you guys!
This time, I bring you (possibly) the first set of H&R Sport Springs installed on the M235i in the states! It's been a long wait since I ordered them, but the drop is just perfect IMO. Not too aggressive, but just enough to look lowered. The experts at European Auto Source didn't seem to have any issues installing the springs, so it looks to be a straightforward install (having the right tools and knowledgeable people helps). I was in and out in a couple hours. I didn't notice any difference with the ride quality on the drive home (which consists of smooth to very rough/bumpy surfaces at low and highway speeds), so that's a plus! But enough words, I'll let the photos do the talking! The springs: Before (side view): After (side view): Before (front wheel): After (front wheel): Before (rear wheel): After (rear wheel): More after photos: After setting in a tiny bit: Once again, I'd like to thank the guys at eAs for a job well done and their great customer service! If you guys are looking for springs for your M235i, hit them up! |

I would love to do that but I don't want to reduce the ground clearance. I've already scrapped the front end on a steep parking ramp, thankfully its not visible.

Looks really good. Are you expecting it to settle lower? I agree that it looks perfect now, so I'd be hopeful it didn't get any lower.
Love the red w/ the blue M brakes. Hot |

I got the V705s!
It will probably settle a bit more since these photos were taken right after I had the springs installed. |

The VMR V705 wheels I'm getting are 18x8 +45 all around. They are getting powdercoated, so I can't wait to get them on! |

I know this may not be favorited by most... But id love to see one slammed with some aggressive wheels/offsets. None the less, that is a gorgeous car and a very nice stance the way it sits.. Congrats!

The rear drop is <perfect>!!!
The front drop is 1/4- 1/3 of an inch too low. Typical of ALL lowering springs that lower the front too much, giving the car that "raked" -- hot rod look so much of the 50/50 distribution
