Lowering problems

Ander335xi · 03-31-2018, 05:14 PM

Hi eveyone,

I'm new to the forum, my name is Ander and I'm from the Basque country. I have a BMW 335xi E91 from 2007. I hope you can help me. I want to lower the height of the car with specific H&R sport springs for the xdrive. people tell me that front driveshafts are going to suffer a lot and they are going to break easily. Did you have any problem with lowering the car?

Thank you all!!

i do it for more than 140 000km an no problem in winter track and every crap you can do with a car i do it...

If you buy H&R buy good strut with it. I run it like 1 month with oem and strut and it was the baddest idea i got... LOL

I'm glad to know that I can lower the car with no risk. My idea to use the original struts, but in a while change them for blistein b8.

Thanks for your advice and help !!

Do it directly for the B8

But if you want to keep good comfort with your car go a head with KW v1.

You have an Xdrive its not compatible at front at not at rear too you need to change the lower table.

perfect, thanks for the clarification and your great help! at the moment I will install the h&r with the original struts and if I'm not convinced with the result, I will put the b8

Thanks again!!
