Advice- H&R Springs or Coilovers?

FIVEDIMES · 03-12-2019, 12:45 AM

Need advice on my 2012 535.

If I go H&R springs do I need to change out my OEM sway bars?

Any insight will be much appreciated!

You can but don't have to. Im running h&r lower spring but about to upgrade to kw or bc coilover.

I tried aftermarket and M series sway bars, all were too hard for Chicago's crap roads before I got the KW3s which are fine with stock bars.

Good luck.
