H&R Cup Suspension Kit- Is it worth it?

senselessactz · #1 (**permalink**) 05-07-2003, 02:51 PM

I need help! I want to lower my 325i, but i also want to keep the same ride, maybe even stiffer. I hear that coilovers are the only way to go. I do not want to spend a 1000$ though. I did, however, find a kit, the H&R Cup Suspension Kit. All i would like to know is wether or not this kit is worth it. Someone please tell me. Or, if you all have any other suggestions on lowering my car w/o sacrificing a smooth ride, please share!
Thanks a lot

Yes the cup kit is awesome. I have had it on my car far almost 2 years and it's never given me any problems. It delivers a great drop, without sacrificing too much in the way of ride quality. It will obviously be stiffer than the stock springs, but they are great for the street, and since it is a matched pair (springs and shocks) you have no worries about a bouncy ride. Hope I helped.

I'm looking at getting the H&R cupkit for my car. Handling wise, is a cup kit better or worse than getting shocks and springs seperately?

The handling will be much better than stock. Most likely, since HR engineered the spring and shocks to work together, they'll work better than shocks and springs bought separately.

To all the people out there that either have or had the H&R cup kit could you please give me your thoughts on it. I can get the cup kit at a wholesale price and was thinking about purchasing it.

Thanks

Besides being adjustable, what is the difference between coilovers and the cup kit?

Money and fame and bragging rights that you have adjustable suspension and you never move it once set.Ha Ha Ha.And one more thing your car has never been on track either..
