530e lowering springs installed

Jerry333 · 01-15-2022, 11:38 PM

Picked up new 530e end of last year. Overall satisfy with her but feel like the car is too soft for me (sometimes it's like driving a boat -- of course it is quite comfortable without a doubt). Installed set of h&r lowering spring yesterday and really happy with the much improved handling and the look

. -- it is low yet not too low.

Looks good, definitely tasteful and not slammed.

What springs did you install?

Were they specific for the 530e, I like that look.

Do you have adaptive suspension?

I don't and it is H&R lowering spring for 530e.

We're they the H&r 35mm springs part number HR287215.

If I use them I will get 35 mm drop as the variable dampers ride 10mm higher than M sport- M sport drop is 25.

Looks great but will it survive Boston streets?

That is a perfect height. After seeing your pictures I think it's time to lower mine as well. Can't stand that wheel gap.

I have yet to give any springs that are advertised compatible for DHP cars. Would love to drop mine a bit but have read people who chance it have had their dampers blow out.
