H&R Sport Springs – BMW 335i Sedan (E90)

OVERVIEW

H&R Sport Springs are the best-selling performance street spring for BMW, and swapping the factory springs is one of the first steps in suspension tuning. On the E90 335i sedan they lower the centre of gravity and cut body roll for better handling and chassis balance, with an aggressive but driveway-friendly stance.

Sport Spring rates are progressive and increased 10–20% over stock, so ride quality stays composed in normal driving and firms up when the road gets twisty. The lower frontal profile also reduces wind resistance.

Every H&R spring is cold-wound from 54SiCr6 spring steel and shot-peened, which H&R states increases spring life by more than 200%. The springs will not settle or sag, and each one is 100% tested before leaving H&R's ISO 9001-certified production facility in Germany.
