H&R Race Spring – BMW M3 Coupe / Sedan (E92)

OVERVIEW

H&R Race Springs are the most aggressive spring in H&R's street range, designed for responsive, tight handling and performance. Fitted to the E90 / E92 / E93 M3, including cars with the Competition Package, they drop the car onto a lower center of gravity and take the slack out of the chassis without asking you to give up a road-usable ride height.

Lowering the car reduces body roll and improves chassis balance and turn-in, and it gives the M3 a noticeably more purposeful stance.

H&R manufactures every spring in-house from a special 54SiCr6 spring steel and shot-peens it to increase service life by more than 200 percent, so the set will not settle or sag the way lesser coil springs do. Each spring is 100 percent tested before it leaves H&R's ISO9001-certified production facility in Germany, and the company holds both TÜV and ISO9001 quality certification.

TECH RESOURCES

Additional Parts Required

• Damper configuration check — confirm whether your car is fitted with factory Adaptive M Suspension / Electronic Damping Control. H&R releases separate part numbers for electronically damped cars, and this kit should only be fitted to the damper configuration H&R lists it against.
• Four-wheel alignment — H&R requires the wheel alignment to be checked and reset any time vehicle ride height is changed. Budget for a full four-wheel alignment immediately after installation.
• Professional installation — H&R states that its springs and suspensions should be installed by professional suspension mechanics only. Improper installation voids the H&R warranty.
• Bumpstop trimming (application dependent) — some H&R part numbers require the front and/or rear bumpstops to be trimmed to a specified length. Check this part number against the trim chart in the H&R technical information sheet linked below before you start.
• Wheel and tire clearance check — verify clearance at the fender, strut and inner arch at full lock and full compression, particularly with aftermarket wheel and tire packages.
• Installer-supplied tools: coil spring compressor for strut and shock disassembly, torque wrench, and the standard BMW suspension service tools.

Installation

• H&R Technical Information & Installation Guide (PDF) — H&R's technical sheet covering spring identification and markings, dead and tender coils, ride-height measurement, the bumpstop trimming chart by part number, and alignment requirements.
• H&R Warranties & Claims (PDF) — official H&R warranty terms, coverage periods and claim procedure.
• Vehicle-specific fitting instructions are supplied in the box with the spring set. H&R does not publish a separate per-application installation PDF for this part.

Notes

• Lowering figures are approximate and are measured from stock ride height; actual drop varies with the car's options and factory ride height. Confirm fitment for your exact model year with Speed Logic before ordering.
