H&R 50407 Sport Springs for BMW E46 — Overview

These are H&R's bread-and-butter lowering springs for the E46 chassis - that covers 3 Series sedans, coupes, convertibles, and tourings from 1999 to 2006. Drop is roughly 30mm up front and 20mm rear depending on the specific variant, which gets rid of the factory wheel gap without going so low that you're scraping on every parking garage ramp. They're a progressive rate spring, so daily driving stays tolerable while the car still tightens up noticeably in corners. If you're running stock shocks, these will work but the dampers will be outpaced by the spring rate fairly quickly - worth budgeting for shocks at the same time if yours have any miles on them. Pick these over a coilover kit if you want a cleaner install, a lower upfront cost, and you're not chasing adjustability. The E46 subframe and trailing arm geometry responds well to a mild drop like this without needing camber correction plates in most cases.
