H&R VTF Adjustable Lowering Springs – BMW M5 (F10, S63) / M6 Gran Coupe (F06, S63)

OVERVIEW

This is H&R's VTF adjustable lowering spring set for the F10 M5 and F06 M6 Gran Coupe. Rather than a single fixed drop, the kit lets the installer set ride height and stance to suit the car.

Lowering the body reduces the center of gravity and cuts body roll, which improves handling and chassis balance while closing up the fender gap. H&R's progressive rates run 10–20% higher than stock, keeping ride quality civil in normal driving and firming up for proper chassis composure when the road turns.

Every H&R spring is crafted from 54SiCr6 spring steel and shot-peened, which H&R states increases spring life by more than 200% and keeps the springs from settling or sagging. All production is completed in-house at H&R's ISO 9001-certified facility in Germany, and each spring is 100% tested before it leaves the plant. Quality assurance is backed by TÜV and ISO 9001 certification.
