Got a set with about 10k on them, on the car when I bought it. Looking to trade them for a set of H&R sports as I'd like a ride height that is a little lower. pics of the car as it sits with these springs, here they are:

Are they the same stiffness / spring rate as the sports? I see that in BMP they are listed as a 1.0 inch drop, whereas the "sports" are listed as 1.3 inches.
Also, are you running 14 inch wheels? 14s or 15s, whatever they are they look sexy...'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5 -
Theyre the same spring rates as the sports but provide slightly less drop, but Id say its more than just an inch. I have em on my car with Bilstein HD's and absolutely love the setup.
Those look to be euroweaves. 15X7.Back to my roots

they are e30 m3 15x7 wheels :)
Maybe it's the koni shocks that make my car sit high.
No idea of the spring rates, they came on the 318is when I bought it.Comment

Whoops! Missed the 5 lugs I guess... Looks very cool.
And for what it's worth, I don't think it looks high at all. I think it looks basically perfect for actually driving in that picture, unlike some on the forum that look like they probably bottom out any time the road isn't flat.'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

yup, i've had the springs and Bilstein HD's for two years already, and for a city environment they're the ideal setup.Originally posted by euroshark View PostIG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here

I just sold my m42 to a guy that had H&R sports, not the OE sports like i have. Even with half a motor in his car it say way lower than mine does. My car looks like a 4x4 in the front. Maybe I'll take some more pics today to show you guys.Comment
