I just found out and confirmed that E92 and E90 M3 springs are exactly the same!!...therefore my E90 that should be arriving soon will be lowered... and not a 4x4. haha. The first dealership I called told me that they needed a VIN...and blah blah blah different options will lead to different spring set up...and he was wrong!. OEM part numbers for the stock springs are the same for both. Hope this helps for those who plan on lowering their E90 M3s.......now the search is on for after market lowering springs!..

You're speaking of EDC springs? I'm in no rush to be the first on this. The suspension is so well tuned now I don't want to screw it up. Will wait for more product and reviews.

agreed with Greg. im in no hurry, dont want a harsh bouncy ride, dont want to blow my shocks/EDC, and dont want to replace EDC that i paid for with anything.. i'll live with a 4x4 m3

I'm probably going to lower it right away... would love to wait for Ground Control (which I had on my E46 M3), but may do H&R.

FWIW I had a Carrera S with PASM which is very similar to EDC and had absolutely no issues with H&R springs.

It shouldn't matter if you lower your car on springs with EDC. As it does not affect the system in any way.

According to AutoTalent, theres a RD sport Spring for e9x M3. They claim it works fine with EDC. I dunno will it cause problem in the long run.
