[SOLD] R56 NM Engineering Springs

Category: Suspension
Price: $0
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used

SOLD


Hey NAM,
Over the summer I finally picked up a set of NM Springs for my R56. Once installed I found the ride to be a little too harsh for me and especially commuting into Boston. So after about two weeks I took them off and put them back in the box hoping to save up some money and get a set of nice shocks to go with them in hopes that they will ride better, That is what I've heard the case is.

6 months later no shocks and now its winter

I bought a Subaru to play with and use during the winter so my priorities have changed and I'm letting go of these.
They are quality pieces and if I buy springs again it will be these without a doubt

Considering how little time they spent on the car they are technically used but basically new.
Price is a Firm $225 local or shipped at buyers expense.
Cash or PayPal
PM me if interested

Thanks guys

On NM's website they have different part numbers for these springs for the R55 and the R56. Does anyone know why? Will these R56 springs not fit on my R55?

I'd say that they might have different spring rates on the rear since the back of the car is technically heavier.

I thought that too except yesterday a set of PSS9's popped up for sale and the PSS9's have seem to have the same part number for the R55 and R56.

I just got off of the phone with NM and they said that the rates are different in the rear seeing as the clubman has more weight back there.

They said putting R56 springs on a clubman might have the rear sit lower and softer since the rates are tuned for a lighter car, Its not that I would recommend that, its just a side effect of doing so.

Thanks for looking into that. I'm sure someone with an R56 will pick them up.

This would be a great present to myself. Unfortunately holiday funding for others comes first. Good luck with your sale. If you still have them in February, I'll send you a PM.
