Who makes the lowest lowering springs?

BD997 · 09-16-2011, 08:45 AM

Hey guys, picking up my 550 next week and want to start planning ahead. Who makes the lowest lowering springs for the F10? Thank you in advance.

Vinfast · 09-16-2011, 11:25 AM

Definitely H&R, especially for the 550i M-sport.

Actually, my Eibach sits lower than ones with H&R......

Is yours an M-sport? I've already swapped my H&Rs out for RDs to get the front up a little.

I think AC Schnitzer does. I have H&R and it's not low enough, Ive seen AC and it looks lower than my H&R.

lowest possible would be coilovers.

Yes. Mine is an M-sport. RC3 has his f10 on H&R and we compared next to each other. The Eibach is lower.

I think that's because mine is a 528. For 550, H&R is really low for the front as Vinfast tried and tested.

anyone have pic of h&r springs on a 535/550 with m sport package?

Vinfast · 09-18-2011, 07:45 AM

mlai · 09-18-2011, 10:22 AM

Well.... This is mine with Eibach. I can barely fit 1 finger in the wheel gap for both front and rear.

Where is that man? Never seen so many trees in hk before

Counting down the days to get my set of eibach for 550..

How does lowering the car interfere with the electronic suspension/ chassis gadgetry of the car (damping control etc.)?

Like RC3 said, The H&R definitely sit a lot lower on 550. I have a 535 with H&R. After 2 months, it is about 1.7 finger gap. I have seen my friend's 550 on H&R that only has about 0.7 finger gap.

I have not seen ACS nor Eibach on F10 in person, but Based on ACS and Eibach's spec, they will be higher than H&R.

Vinfast · 09-26-2011, 04:55 PM

With my RDs on my 550i, I only have about .8 finger gap on the front.

Thanks man, but I had to go with the RDs to get the front up a little although they didn't get it up as much as I thought.

BD997 · 09-26-2011, 10:32 PM

Where can I get the best deal on a set of H
