Product: H&R Springs.
Car: e34 540i 6-speed.
The good: The car is lower in the front and raised a bit in the rear (e34 rear springs sag pretty badly with time) getting rid of the hideous reverse-rake look that plagues e34s in general, so the stance of the car is a lot better (the word stance is used as to how the car sits on the road and not stance as in stanceworks). The ride has stayed very close to the same, the firmness is just the way I want it. Even so the ability of the springs combined with the M5 anti-roll bars to keep a car of this weight level in hard cornering is simply astonishing. The whole feel of the car in corners just inspires ridiculous amounts of confidence that almost feels out place on a big saloon car.
The Bad: The springs are blue, and everyone knows that red springs are better, so it would have been better if they were red. :nonono:
The service: I paid money and got stuff what more could I ask for?
Price: I could not find the springs cheaper elsewhere.

lol Sank you thinking of Blue springs H&R use special 'Blue Blue' on their springs...
this in actually better than the old Red because it uses a higher concentration of unicorn blood giving it that special hue that makes it distinguishable from normal Blue if you put them next to normal blue springs you will see a huge difference :rollsmile:

My Review on the POWERFLEX E46 front control arm bushes
raise: raise:raise: raise:
Quality you can see, feel that its x200% better than OEM
installed feel: dont feel bumps at all, feels like a person is gliding on the road
Feels like i have upgraded my suspension and all i done was the bushes, Steering feels lighter & sharper, its just great.
:ty: to Sean for great service and product

its the low quality polly bushes that give them a bad name... if properly designed polly works very well and last forever :rollsmile:
thanks for the review
thanks for the review
As promised i would like to add my expereince. Obviously there is no need to go into too much detail of how professional and timeously and etc,etc moranor is. We all know hes an awesome guy.
So i purchased the new Vanos seals. Fitment took a bit longer than expected but i learnt a alot of my own car through this installation. The DIY on Beisan's website is sufficient to do this install/mod.
So the recommended time to run it in is about 200km. Okay, after 150km i couldn't take it anymore. A n9 polo gti was making his pressence quite clear behind me yesterday. After the robot went green we both turned off, him behind me. 1st gear i floor it, change to second and...oh crap.. the tail kicks out, warning lights everywhere as the ASC engages, the car straightens and surges on.
Okay so maybe there was something in the road i didn't see that made it slide. Vanos seals can't make that much of a difference.
So last night, quiet road. Got my dynolicious app. Thought id give it a try. Wait for green and...again ASC lights up as the wheels make a uncharateristacally savage spin and eventually the ASC lets go. Even with all that drama the car runs a 8.29 to 100. Which i know is slow but taking into account what happened i think i might get it to low 7 high 6.
This is just my experience so far. I don't want to get too excited. But usually if my car sets off from a green light hard it feels like the clutch would slip and the car just refs and goes nowhere and and and...
So im very happy sofar.
Thanks very much Moranor! :thumbs:
