Xdrive lowered on h&r SUPER SPRINGS

was wondering if anyone has any ideas or comments for lowering my 2013 328i xdrive to be lowered on H&R super sports because i want a significant drop with them. Can anyone help or give me some input on if i can use the RWD springs on my Xdrive without running into problems ??

Echoing alohasurftoad suggestions. Lowering xDrive vehicle beyond the intended design places front axles at risk, which only you can evaluate as acceptable or not. By all means, do the research.

I had super sports fitted on my xdrive when I first got the car. they lasted less than a week due to being unbarely uncomfortable. They crashed and bottomed out over just about every pot hole I swapped to acs and the difference Is night and day.

Really? I’ve only heard good things about h&r sport springs that’s crazy! I’ll have to look into ACS springs. What kind of xdrive do you have? Also do you know how low they will drop your car I’m looking for a good look drop cause I’m considering some 18s or 19s wheels for the car as well

Did you swap out bump stops?

I am on ACS with adaptive M Sport, and can only recommend them. No need to worry about losing much of comfort - I am on 20" driving the city with no problems. If you do not have it yet, be sure to install the strut bar - I guess it might be one of the reasons of different opinions on the same suspension setup...

I don’t believe I have the adaptive suspension would you still think these springs are good for me? Did you have to do the bump stops that the previous person mentioned? Also should I put the lowering springs on my stock struts? I was thinking yes I could no problem but if I need to get new struts I’d rather look into a whole coil over setup like BC maybe. Thanks for the help y’all! New to BMW’s so a lot of new information to gather up
