H&R super sport springs

I am currently driving a 435i coupe with m sport suspension and 20x9 front 20x10 rear vorsteiners, as well as the carbon fiber front splitter. I want to lower my car soon and was wondering if the super sport springs are completely bearable, or if they would make the car "too" low. I would prefer to go with the super sport springs, but I don't want to crack my front splitter. If that's the case I can go for the sport springs instead.

I ran the super sports for a couple months. Blew out my shocks. Rear sat real low. Loved the look but wasn't functional plus roads in California are full of pot holes. Bought a set of KW's. Never going with springs again.

The gap doesn't look bad since your running 20" wheels. I have a 335i with 19" wheels and H&R Sports. The gap is about 2 fingers (roughly 1"). My front lip scrapes everyday on my driveway apron and I have to be aware of curbs when parking. Front lip is 4" from street. Keep in mind that you will need to find an alignment shop with a ground level alignment machine. The lift type of alignment machine wont clear your front lip and most shops won't risk being liable for damaging your car.

If you choose super sport springs H&R recommends changing dampers as well. For the price of springs and dampers you could get a ride height adjustable coil over kit like the Bilstein B14. Online pricing is about $1,000 and you could likely get a shop to match it or buy yourself.

Plenty of reputable shops in Metro Atlanta too. I just had my 435i done at Solo Motorsports and alignment at Butler.

Super Sports WILL grind the front lip/splitter. I bottom out my front M Performance lip all the time on drive ways and speed bumps.

Get ready to bottom out on the daily if you aren't cautious. I too have 19's on my 335i. With a bigger wheel you might just eat up your fender liners as well.

I have exactly what you wanted as a set up I think. Super sports with 20's. I didn't get a front splinter cause it would crack almost for sure no matter how careful my driving would be. I like the feel of the super sports although it's a bumpy ride. I've had the car since 2014 and no issues with shocks.

Here is mine on H & R Super Sports and Bilstien b8 shocks/struts with 20x9 front and 20x10 rear Rohana rc22s:



The ride is definitely a little stiffer and you lose the "bounciness" (which is what I wanted) and definitely gets into corners much better but I'd be careful if your roads are bad or if there are a lot of speed bumps. I use this as my daily driver and haven't had issues yet but I am very careful and my roads are very well maintained. As you can see though there isn't a whole lot of clearance in the front.
