A new coilover option [see full F30 coilover list] is now available for the F30 3 Series, from H&R.

The H&R Coil Over Street Performance Suspension (Part number: 28895-1) for the F30 328i and 335i has the following height adjustment range:

Front: -1.5-2.6"
Rear: -1.3-2.3"
MSRP price: $1,680.00
Part number: 28895-1


Here is a description:

The H&R Street Performance Coil Over kit takes the traditional shock/spring package one step further. H&R combines their progressive-rate springs with specially valved shocks and adds height adjusters that let you set the ride height to your own personal tastes. These coil overs are designed for street use with progressive rate springs that start out soft and stiffen as they are compressed. This helps to keep the ride compliant while still giving better handling and balance.

H&R designs each suspension to work as a coil over. This means that the correct amount of travel has been built into each shock. And the shocks are valved specifically for the spring rates to give a tight and controlled ride without being harsh or ultra-stiff. Each H&R coil over is TUV tested and approved and meets ISO quality standards. These are used with the stock strut and shock mounts for a quick and easy install.

Those figures seem like very aggressive drops. What is the drop on the car in pictures from stock height?

This car looked great in person, the white wheels were a great compliment. Really made me wish I'd had some patience and waited for the M-Sport. Good work H&R

With these coils, do I need to use my OEM top hats or w/e? Also since it uses OEM shocks struts and mounts, does it mean that the OEM ones will wear out faster?
