H&R here with 20x9 F 20x10.5 R
It's low but looks right, IMO, with no wheel gap. Rides well. You will experience a difference, as you can imagine, over bridge transitions or uneven pavement but it's to be expected when you go this route. Initially wanted to go Swift but they weren't specifically engineered for the e93 only the e90/e92. Actually purchased them and returned them after speaking to the guys at Swift. Would have probably gone with Dinan if the drop was more significant since I have all the Dinan bolt on's. Either way, happy with the H&R. |

Reviving as I didn’t want to get flamed for starting a new thread.. my question is the vert e93 stock sits lower in the rear than the front and it drives me mad. I’ve seen some verts in my city lowered very low and the rear looks lower than the front too , no idea what they used coils or springs but still the front sits a bit higher. What springs have the front lower than the rear especially when the top is down and sitting in the trunk adding weight.. my research has lead me to believe the hr race springs might be the ones or street? Eibachs from pics look like th front has more gap than the rear.

From EAS the race springs are for the sedan and coupe. the sport springs have a e93 m3 option. anyne have hr race with a vert. do they take into account the massive weight of the roof when down sitting in the rear. i cant see how the springs are the same in a coupe and vert.

I'm glad I came across this thread! was hoping someone could give me advice. I don't intend to "lower" the vert. I actually appreciate its ride height and plan to keep it close to stock/oem as possible. What shocks does everyone recommend for the vert? I do not track it, it's my Daily and I enjoy spirited driving from time to time.
Thanks!! JB

Sorry to bump again but not really getting the answer yet. I’m about to buy hnr sport springs for the e93 as they are the only company that has e93 specific springs which I imagine have stiffer rear spring rates for the extra weight. What I’m asking is and it’s not clear pictures of a vert with the sport springs with stock 220m wheels or any rims. Perhaps the silver vert above is but he doesn’t state if there the e93 specific sport springs or hnr race. Car looks low like it’s the race just like clarification. Cheers

Read this thread when I was shopping around for springs, so I wanna go on here to share my results.
Ended up getting h&r sport springs (1.0 in front 0.6 in rear) and it’s perfect, super happy with how it turned out, now oddly enough I feel like the ride is a lot more comfortable than stock and handles great, the rear doesn’t look lower than the front, the front looks lower or atleast level with rear. I’m also running 10mm spacer rear, 17.5mm front Here’s some pics |

ik i’m reviving this thread from years ago but i have an e93 with the 359m wheels and 15mm spacers up front and 12mm in the rear. do you guys think i’ll end up rubbing with springs? also are h&r better or eibach? from what i know, eibach doesn’t make springs for the e93 so im worried the back may not sit well getting a set made for the coupes. the rear honestly sits perfect rn but the front has monster truck fitment. any help is rly appreciated
