H&R springs.

Powerbeast · 05-27-2012, 01:08 AM

I installed race springs 2 inch drop on my 2012 X5M. I just have to say one thing, it feel like you are on a trampoline the ride quality is horrible if anyone is thinking about buying these springs for there car DON'T do it you will forever regret it. Car looks great lowered though ;-)

You should think about switching them to the KW V3 set up, the ride is great. Truck looks great btw!

Will you fools stop quoting posts with pictures so that you can post one irrelevant line? Do you know how annoying it is to scroll through the same image multiple times on a small smartphone screen?

Not sure, why do you ask?

nycpassat · 05-29-2012, 07:53 AM

you're experiencing the trampoline effect due to H&R's higher spring rate. Its not matching up with your current struts. If you decide not to go with the coilover route, I suggest you look into a stiffer strut setup.

Where is the best place to buy the KW V3 setup??
