m340 on H&R in NYC?

Does anybody have an m340 on H&R lowering springs near the NYC area? I’m thinking of lowering my car but would like to see one in person and possibly get a little ride in it to get a feel of the suspension after the change. Please let me know even if it’s just to show the setup

It rides pretty stiff but doesn't go dangerously low. I think you would be fine even in NYC. If you have a lip you might break it if you're wylin out

In Sport mode you definitely feel the road. It doesn't bother me, but it's definitely that "lowered car feel." In Comfort/Eco modes it's much smoother.

As someone above noted, front lip clearance can be an issue which I found out the hard way when I cracked my CF lip on the ramp into my parking garage.

Thanks for the info and pics! Do you have any issues with rubbing? Are you running spacers?

No issues with rubbing. I’m running 10mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear.

@throatpunch it looks like the HR springs gave you a perfect stance/drop with no gap between the tire and fender but I’m guessing bc you have 20” wheels compared to the 19” wheels the come with the car?

I’m using 28662-2 which could be one reason why. It also looks like you’re running 20” rims whereas I’m on 19’s.
