The H&R 29672-1 is a sport spring set made for the non-Touring BMW E34 525i, covering the 1990–1995 sedan. It replaces the factory coils at each corner, lowering the car while keeping a street-oriented ride rather than a firm track setup. If you are searching for E34 525i sport springs, 1990-1995 BMW 525i lowering springs, or non-Touring E34 front and rear coils, this is the sedan-specific listing, and it is not for the wagon.
Compared with stock, a lower ride height brings the center of gravity down and reduces body roll in corners, while also closing the fender gap that makes an older E34 look tall. Owners on user forums describe the front dropping roughly 30 to 35 mm compared with the factory spring. A matched four-spring set keeps front and rear geometry consistent, which is a better starting point than mixing single springs from different sources. Because a lowered car changes suspension geometry, the price of the springs is best justified when you also check the factory dampers and plan an alignment.
Installation is a moderate DIY job. Owners on BMW 3- and 5-Series forums describe a standard set of tools: a 21mm socket, a pry bar, and quality strut spring compressors, since weak compressors may not grip evenly. Give yourself wire and hose slack before pulling the strut, protect the fender from scratches, and book a wheel alignment after the install.
No. This part is designated for non-Touring models only, so wagon owners should not order it.
Owners on user forums describe a front drop of roughly 30 to 35 mm compared with the factory spring. Confirm the exact front and rear figures with the manufacturer before relying on a specific number.
Owners on user forums list a 21mm socket, a pry bar, and proper strut spring compressors. Weak compressors are a commonly cited problem, so buy or borrow good ones.
Plan on a moderate DIY job for a weekend, with the car safely supported on jack stands. Owners on user forums report that the fronts take the most effort because the strut has to come out of the fender, and that the rear springs are straightforward once the shock is accessible. Use a spring compressor that holds evenly so the strut does not slip, disconnect any sensor wires with enough slack, and avoid stretching hoses. Have the car aligned afterward, since any change in ride height alters camber and toe.
