Original alpina springs vs H&R lowering springs (e12 B7) - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

My front springs on my B7 is broken. I have a set og new H&R springs for e12. Will this make a big difference on the car? Is the H&R springs better? Anyone with comments?

Your car being what it is (#001) I would make a big effort to track down original B7 springs

I agree, but I still wonder if anyone knows the difference between this springs.

you will completeley change the way the car drives for one, the alpina set up is very good and their suspension is second to none, the h&r setup you are talking about is more for when the car is lowered alot thats when i would say use h&r but if you are not lowering then stick to alpina setup, i had h&r adjustables on my h36 and it was good but that was lowered nearly 80mm al round.

As already said, keep it original.

I have as you know more or less 20 years of driving experince with the B7 and the stock suspension more than capable.
It will not be a M3, but high speed corners is amazing.
Keep away from Rudskogen and enjoy it where it can use its speed.

How is the work going BTW ?
