Also, how long can the HR spring lasts without a fail in the stock shocks? I'm a beginner so please forgive me for any mistakes or silly questions. Hope someone can teach me something, thank you guys.  (Also, is there any way to fix the bumper license plate holes from my dealer)  |
So you bought springs without searching the forum I see. Lol
If you would have search a bit you would have found the HR springs are quite a bit more stiff than oem. Many don't get them because of this. The VTF version is their new adjustable set and is getting much better reviews.
Yes bumper plugs. |
I see, thank you. also, for the whole coil over set, is KW better than H&R? In addition, how is the durability of H&R springs? Thank you. |
Full blown KW V3 coilover will be way better than any lowering spring with stock shocks combo setup.
With your current conventional H&R lowering spring, you are pretty much stuck with it.
Regular spring setup is static drop. In your case is the front only since the rear is using adjustable link to trick the ride height sensor.
While with H&R VTF (Ride Height Adjustable lowering spring), you can adjust the drop to your liking within the manufacturer's specified range.
H&R spring is very durable, I have seen a 20 years old BMW with H&R spring.
