H&R springs

#3

I wanted to improve the look and handling of my coupe, so I picked up set of H&R springs from www.tirerack.com .

The look was greatly improved, and the ride quality was a bit better in my opinion.

The stock springs would allow the car to lean quite a bit while turning. The stock springs also seemed to compress to fast and be jarring on rough roads.

PROS:
-The H&R springs got rid of the “roly poly” lean and allowed the car to sit flatter in the turns.
-The H&R springs also ride smoother over rough roads.
-The M looks great with the drop

CONS:
-(not a con for me) The rear end sits lower, but can be corrected with rubber spacers. Link for spacers:

-Shorter springs will wear out the factory struts faster. I was told they would need to be replaced after 30-40k miles.
-Not a complete solution for tracking.
