E46 M3 springs

Recommended Posts

Anyone running aftermarket springs ? 

Obviously a lot of overseas chat about which are 'best' - interested in local feedback? 

I'm really looking for;

  • mild drop (close to standard 'rake' - not a dumped rear) - I'm worried about ramps access
  • Ride quality over 'handling'

From what I can tell;

  • King Springs - look pretty low  (too low?)
  • Eibach - a lot of people change to H&R? Rear lowers more than front
  • Tein - they green
  • H&R - seem to be the popular choice

Safari spec:

mine had kings , good sporty ride 

maybe a little firm crashy on bumps with the 19" 

ok on clearance on my gravel drive

Not sure if it rings true for M3s, but my E46 spring research usually showed.

H&R sport = mild drop, slightly moreso in the front, slightly firmer spring rates

Eibach Prokit = mild drop, slightly more even drop (not rake) and more comfort

You will have seen they also do 'Race' and 'Sportline' respectively which are lower and firmer, but not ideal for stock shocks.
