I'm sure I remember reading someone's post on here with that set-up.

What about h&r springs any one ruining them ?

For those not wanting to lower their cars, Dinan Performance Springs have little to no drop!

Are the Dinan springs still available?

I don't believe they are. They are no longer listed for the 1 series on Dinan's website. Maybe you could find them elsewhere, or possibly pick up a used set if you look around. I remember not too long ago reading about a member who bought a used set off of Craigslist. At least I think that's where he said he got them.

thanks, Esteban.

No problem...

You can try the BMW Performance springs if you're looking to buy. They're similar to the Dinan springs, but don't know if they're available either since the Performance parts for the 1 series are being discontinued.

They lower the car but still keep the feel very close to stock, they don't alter the driving dynamics negatively.

This set up looks nice! What are your wheel spec if you dont mind me asking? Also are there any rubbing issue at all?

Thankz!

Thanks! Don't mind at all:

F: 18 x 8.5 ET45 - 235/40/18
R: 18 x 9.5 ET58 - 265/35/18

Slight rubbing in front under full compression, I believe it's rubbing the bumper tab. It was rubbing and I rolled fender in front and still touches that bumper tab slightly.

Rear it did not rub at all but they looked a bit sunken so I put a 3mm spacer on.

I have the Spec-R installed on my 128i. Paired them with my OEM sport dampers and it rides nicely. I have experience with track cars and multiple coilovers setups on different cars though, so I am accustomed to a harsh ride.

I was reading this review thread on the Swift springs and they complained about them sagging. Has anybody had this issue? I'm currently debating between the Eibachs and Swifts and have been leaning heavily towards the Swifts til I saw someone complain about them sagging. Anybody with experience? Thanks!

I've had the Swift Spec-Rs on since November of 2014 (just shy of 30,000 miles) without issue.

Had a set for 20k miles and experienced no sagging. Had linear swift coilover sprigs for 50k+ and no sagging there either. Happens sometimes with swift sprigs but it's pretty uncommon across all their product lines.
