Jlevi SW | H&R Sport Plus Springs Now Available

H&R has expanded their lineup of spring upgrades for the E90/E92 M3 with the H&R Sport Plus Spring Set.

This updated version of the H&R Sport Spring offers a performance level above the standard Sport Springs with a more aggressive and stiffer spring rate while maintaining the practicality of the Sport Spring ride height.

The Sport Plus spring set is ideal for those that want the standard H&R Sport Spring drop, 1.0" F and 0.6" R but with better handling that is well suited for track use. The Sport Plus set is still a streetable spring set but you will sacrifice some comfort in the way of improved handling.

For ordering information, please visit the link below or contact us directly!

Could you give us the spring rates of the regular sport and sport plus?

H&R unfortunately guards their spring rates so they don't release that info

Pretty rare for them to do something like this... They usually only do Sport for the ///M cars, not even race

Yeah, exactly...with no data on rates, I am hesitant. I guess I will have to find somebody with the standard ones and check it out. If I want something stiffer, I may give the sport plus a shot. Hmm.

Unfortunately H&R does not release spring rates so it is tough to tell but from what Turner describes, it's in between the sport and race springs.

Well, that doesn't help me much. lol.

Question for you...

How does the sport spring ride compare to the stock spring ride? Is it roughly the same as stock or a little stiffer? 10% stiffer, 30%, etc? What is YOUR opinion and experience tell you?

I am trying to get a feel for it before I decide which route to take. I used to have coilovers on my last E36 M3 with 450/600 lb. springs. It was rough, but rocked on track. My GT3 was a bit punishing as well on the street! lol. Now that I have them M, I want something a bit stiffer, but not like the GT3. I would like a little increase in stiffness. Thus, comparing the sport springs to the stock ones will give me an idea of what I could expect from the sport plus. TIA.

I'd say somewhere between 20-30% increase in stiffness, but I haven't spent too much wheel time on the E90 M3's and I've spent even less time behind the wheel of one with H&R springs, so I'm judging off the typical increase in stiffness in other cars I've driven.

Hopefully someone else can comment?

Had a few customers install these and so far solid feedback. Definitely a worthwhile option if you are unhappy with the standard Sport ride but love the practicality of the stance.

Yep, these work with the EDC system as it does not effect the strut install.

So who has some installed photos? They are the same height as H&R Sports but would love to see new shots.
