H&R springs and sport suspension BMW

Hi everyone,

Most of the people say H&Rsprings with the stock shocks will reduce their lifetime ?

What about H&R springs and the BMW sport shocks combination ?? Is it ok ?


thanks

Same thing, when ppl say "stock shocks" they mean both the regular stock shocks and the sports stock shocks. The lives of both will be shortened, but I don't think by that much.

when you say shorten the life, what length of time are we talking?
I am about to pick up my 330i for a 24 months lease, and I am thinking about getting H&R Springs.
Thoughts?

this is just my opinion. sport shock are little lower than non sports springs. so i assume sports hosck would go good with the H&R. thats what i will be getting soon.

I contacted Turner Motorsport, which happens to be about an hour from where I live.
They said the springs cost $224.80, but the install is 4-5 hours at $85/Hour.
I was told by a friend of mine, who has put this stuff on his cars in the past, that springs should only take about an hour to install.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Springs definitely take longer than an hour to install. I've had springs installed on 3 of my cars and they all took 2-4 hours. I'd say that $275-$375 would be a reasonable range of total labor price for installation of 4 springs.
