Product Description

The H&R 29742-2 sport springs are built for the Sport Package-equipped BMW E39 5-Series (525i/528i/530i), a proven upgrade from H&R's best-selling Sport Spring line. They lower the car's center of gravity and reduce fender gap for a noticeably sportier stance while retaining a progressive spring rate for everyday ride comfort.

Made in Germany from high-tensile 54SiCr6 spring steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat, they're a straightforward way to sharpen E39 handling without a full coilover swap. Because reported lowering figures and kit contents vary between retailer listings, confirming the exact drop and whether the kit includes rear springs for your specific E39 setup is worth doing before ordering.
