Pics after the H&R install

TomBMW · 07-04-2011, 02:55 PM

Thanks so much to Omar and Kenneth at Active Autowerke, you guys are great and you really took care of me and my car!!!

The front rubs a little bit on huge bumps, but it's due to my tire being too big in the front, I need to run 30 series tires vs 35s.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it, I have EDC and it does ride a bit stiffer on all settings. The stance is definitely worth it. I haven't experienced any floatiness at high speed like all the threads I've been reading. Those threads almost scared me into swapping these with Eibachs, but I'm glad I didn't.

Yes, I know my wheels aren't popular around here but I like em.

Looks nice. What size rubber you running up front and back?

TomBMW · 07-04-2011, 09:33 PM

Thanks

245/35/20 Front
275/30/20 Rear

I think 255/30/20 Front and 285/25/20 Rear would be ideal.

The rears are stretched a bit since I'm running 10.5 in the back.

i just installed mine as well they are awesome!

Looks much better

Time for some painted reflectos to complete the look.

BaLLzZz · 07-08-2011, 09:20 PM

Looks amazing but like you said from my reading experience I couldn't do anything but eibachs. The funny part is the h&r drop look like a 335 sport from the factory after being driven like a champion!

SlamMan · 07-08-2011, 11:42 PM

Love the wheels. They're a little different. Not the same thing everyone else has.

S65B40 · 07-09-2011, 12:03 AM

Nice drop and the stance looks good!

IB + those wheels make the car looking very Alpina-ish.

Straight Dave · 07-09-2011, 11:24 PM

Im planning on dropping mine the same way but am not sure if i should go with eibach's or H&R.... this makes me wanna go with h&r

Maseroche · 07-10-2011, 03:39 AM

Wasn't a fan of the wheels but you know what, after lowering, they look pretty good!

TomBMW · 07-11-2011, 01:22 PM

H&Rs are good, unlike many threads that I read. Miami has some really crappy streets and on multiple bumps you can tell it's stiffer than stock.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just me, but the steering seems to be a lot more sensitive also, meaning much more responsive as before. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely something I noticed right away, car feels like it can turn on a dime, whereas before it was a nickle! LOL
