BMW Spring & Shock Packages (BMW Performance and More)

This suspension package of Bilstein Sport shocks and H&R Sport springs will lower the ride height and firm up the suspension to provide less bodyroll and better handling. This E24 and E28 suspension package is firm but not harsh and can be used on daily-driven street cars as well as backroad and weekend corner carvers.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by 1.25" and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 40% stiffer than the stock original springs. The ride quality is a little stiffer than a stock E28 M5.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

Although this suspension is listed for the E28 M5 and E24 M6, the original rear self-leveling system must be disabled or removed.

• 1 set - H&R Sport Springs (50428)
• 1 pair - Bilstein Front Sport struts (P36-0243 / 34-181546)

If E30 needs a little more pep in the corners, this is an excellent suspension package. H&R Sport springs and Bilstein Sport shocks for the E30 will lower the ride height for an aggressive stance and stiffer springs will improve handling and balance in the corners. This suspension is a favorite among our E30 fans because the car corners better without a punishing ride. Perfect for daily-driven E30s who want to carry more speed through the corners.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by 1.25" and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 40% stiffer than the stock original springs.

Parts list:

• 1 set - H&R Sport Springs (50406)
• 1 pair - Bilstein Front Sport strut inserts (P36-0335 / 34-003350)
• 1 pair - Bilstein Rear Sport Shocks (B36-2027 / 24-020275)

Fitment note: Front strut inserts fit the larger 51mm strut housings. These were standard for all 6-cylinder E30s, all M3, and 1989-1992 318i/is. Other models used a smaller strut housing which requires a different Bilstein insert.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1984-1992 E30 BMW 325e 325es 325i 325ic 325is

This H&R-Bilstein package replaces the M5's standard shocks and springs with more-capable bits from Bilstein and H&R. Using a stiffer spring will mean less weight transfer and bodyroll in corners and a slightly lower ride height for better aesthetics. This package will bolt in to any E34 M5 with the optional E34 Self-Leveling Delete Kit.

H&R Sport springs lower the M5's ride height by .8" in front and 0.3" in the rear and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 20% stiffer than the stock original springs.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. On the E34, suspension travel is crucial especially with a lowered ride height. This suspension is stiff but delivers uncompromising handling. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install. Because BMW used multiple combinations of front strut and strut mount we will need specific information from your car in order to send you the correct parts.
 

Parts list:

• 1 set - H&R Sport Springs
• 1 pair - Bilstein Front Sport struts
• 1 pair - Bilstein Rear Sport Shocks (rear self-leveling must be disabled or removed) We offer a Self Leveling Elimination Kit)

Fitment note: some very late E34 models were equipped with an EDC electronic damping system. This must be disabled to use this suspension.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1991-1995 E34 BMW M5 sedan

Your 335i is capable of super-serious speeds - make sure your suspension matches its capability! The stock 335 suspension shares many of its components with the regular 3-series models. Given the power output differences you should have a suspension that is able to handle the additional power. This package of H&R sport springs and Bilstein shocks will plant the 335 in the corners much better than stock.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height as much as 1.3" in front and 1.2" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 30% stiffer than the stock original springs. Lowering amount will be less if replacing the factory sport suspension.

We use Bilstein shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion.

This suspension package for the E93 convertibles will lower the ride height for a better stance and give you better handling. The stock suspension can be very soft with a lot of bodyroll. If you want your 'vert to handle more like a sports car and less like a town car, this is the right suspension for you.

We use Bilstein Sport shocks as the dampers and they feature Bilstein's patented and innovative valving system. With this system, small bumps and impacts are absorbed as they should be. But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. Bilstein Sport shocks work with these shorter springs because the only change Bilstein makes is a slightly longer shock. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

Stay planted in the corners with this 328i and 335i suspension upgrade. The stock suspension does well to deliver comfort and control. But our E92 customers demand more and this H&R and Bilstein package is a step above the stock, delivering less bodyroll, better balance, and improved stance, and without sacrificing ride quality.

The E46 3-series can really benefit from a slightly firmer suspension. The stock shock and spring package is a bit too soft and mushy with a lot of bodyroll. Even the factory sport suspension was a marginal improvement. If you have been left wanting more from your stock suspension, this is the perfect upgrade. In this E46 shock and spring package we paired H&R Sport springs with a set of Bilstein sport shocks and struts to deliver a package with near-stock levels of comfort but with stiffer springs that improve handling and lower the ride height for better aesthetics.

H&R Sport springs lower the ride height by up to 1.4" in front and .75" in the back and stiffens the spring rate. Both combine to lower the car's center of gravity and reduce the amount of bodyroll in corners. The springs are progressive rate so their initial stiffness is actually very compliant and it becomes stiffer as the spring is compressed. This is great for street cars that see bumps and potholes where suspension compliance is key. Overall, they are about 30% stiffer than the stock original springs.

But the shocks stiffen for cornering and other suspension motions. It's the best of both worlds as the shock self-adjusts based on suspension motion. These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.

Ride height varies by stock suspension:

E46 standard suspension: F: -1.4: / R: -0.75"
E46 sport suspension: F: -0.75" / R: -0.25"

Parts list:

• 1 set - H&R Sport Springs (29485 or 29484)
