Springs on 335i xdrive without DHP

Hey all,

I am looking at possibly buying a 2014 335i m-sport. It is a x-drive and does not have the DHP. If I went with an aftermarket spring, would that be somewhat of a good tradeoff to get the suspension around the level of what it would have been with DHP?

If so, what is a good spring that doesn't drop too much? I'm seeing Dinan and H&R, but it seems like they drop the car quite a bit? I wouldn't want to go coilovers due to price, FYI.

Thanks!

Mike

Dinan is the best spring for you if you don't want to lower too much. H&R sport springs will lower your car by 1.6" front and 1.5" rear. And Eibach is about to drop 1.7" or more.

Your best bets are probably Dinan and ACS if you don't want too much of a drop. I think they're both ~1 inch, while others are 1.5 or more.

Thanks for advice. Do you think this is a good idea since I won't have the dhp? the only reason I'm considering this is because of the lack of dhp.

So what is everyone's thoughts on the Dinan springs vs the stock ones if I am just using this as a daily driver (no track days). Is it worth it for just day to day driving?

Thanks!
