FS: *NIB* H&R Street Coilover Suspension

Sold.

Very nice. This is exactly what I want to replace my ground control setup with. Good luck with the sale!

hot damn, i want this badly.... maybe i can sell my body....hmm

[BimmerSteven]

Mtriple, thanks. Obviously suspensions are subjective but I too prefer this setup over a Ground Control kit. It fits my "plug 'n play" approach and is especially well-suited to doing a 5lug swap on a non-M. On that note, I have a set of used E30M3 brake calipers which could be included if someone was going that direction.

golde30, love your car! Great choice on the front valence. But you've already got a 5lug setup!

Cheers,
Steven

what's the spring rate ?

[MIKe30]

turner site is down. I just bolted up my e30 m3 strut towers to my alpine. What would I need to transfer over to these strut towers to be fully functinal, just rotors/brakes? Looks like that's missing a wheel bearing too, or am i just dumb/blind? Pardon my ignorance...

[BimmerSteven]

vlad, H&R doesn't publish spring rates and I have never tested/calculated these. These are progressive rate springs, so the measure requires more than just simple math. I was told some figures which "felt right to me" stating their stiffness over H&R Sport #50406 but I cannot verify that information, so I left it out of the advertisement. Better to just advertise the kit as H&R did.

MIKe30, These start life with H&R buying factory struts from BMW. Everything that attaches to the stock equipment attaches to these, such as: tie rod lever/arm, wheel hub & bearing, brake components, stabilizer bar link. You don't see a hub & bearing because it's not part of this "coilover suspension." Hope that explanation helps.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply, Steven. Sounds like I'd need to transfer over my hubs and bearings - dont know if it'd even be worth it, or smart to, transfer a bearing. Probably better off putting a new bearing on there. PM me if you're fairly flexible on price, otherwise GLWS...

Thanks.

[BimmerSteven]

MIKe30, yes you're right - it would be a good opportunity to build up a suspension with fresh wheel bearings, etc. PM sent.

Cheers,
Steven

Can the strut insert be removed? I think I see a Bilstein gland nut in one of the pictures.
