Product Description

H&R 50493-88 Race Springs are high-performance lowering springs engineered for BMW M3 models (E90 sedan and E92 coupe) built from 2008 through 2013. Designed for drivers who demand aggressive handling, lowered ride height, and enhanced suspension response, these springs reduce the vehicle's center of gravity to improve cornering stability, reduce body roll, and give a more purposeful stance. Constructed from premium 54SiCr6 spring steel in an ISO 9001 certified facility, this race series set emphasizes strength, resilience, and performance-oriented dynamics.

The approximate front drop ranges from about 0.75 to 1.0 inches, while the rear drop ranges from about 0.25 to 0.6 inches depending on model and setup, making them suitable for track applications and spirited street use. For best results, pairing with high-quality performance dampers is recommended to manage the more aggressive spring rates and preserve ride control and comfort. A professional alignment after installation is advised to ensure optimal suspension geometry and tire wear.
