E30 325iX Bilstein/H&R Sport Suspension Package

E30 325iX owners need not be left out in the cold when it comes to a performance suspension. H&R makes lowering springs for the iX models that will improve handling and reduce bodyroll in addition to lowering the iX back down to 'normal' levels. We package these with Bilstein HD shocks for a taut and composed ride.

H&R Sport springs will lower the 325iX ride height by 1.3" front and 1.2" rear. This will lower the iX to the approximage ride height of a standard E30 325is. The Sport springs also come with a stiffer 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.

We use Bilstein HD 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. Normally, HD shocks are not used with lowering springs but this package has been tried and tested throughout the iX owner community and works very well (Bilstein does not produce a Sport shock for the iX). These fit with the stock strut and shock mounts, making for an easy and clean install.
