Installing Xdrive H&R springs on Non Xdrive

N55_PL · 02-26-2016, 06:28 PM

I purchased a used set of H&R springs ( At a great price ) but they are from a Xdrive. Will they fit the non Xdrives?

From the reading I did, they will fit but the spring rates are not the same since the weight of the car and weight distribution (front/rear) is not the same.

All this mean that the drop might not be fully what advertised. For example if xdrive weight more up front the sprint rate might be higher so will drop less on your RWD but I am just guessing.

My feeling though is that this is probably minimal... but on a side note I hope you got a good price since the price of the springs is usually less than the cost of getting those installed and do alignment afterward...
