    M3 spring rates are: 140 lbs front / 250 lbs rear

      My bad fellas, these springs have been sold for a while now. I forgot to edit this thread. Sorry

          I'm not sure exactly. Try searching and see what you find. I've never looked it up.

            I'm deciding whether or not to run oem m3 springs or not. I'm looking for a mild drop with a slight increase in stiffness from oem 318is springs. When you had the oem m3 springs on your car, what did you think? Do you think they will satisfy what I need?

            Thanks.

              I never had them on the car. They came with the 5-lug suspension I bought and I just sold them off from that. I don't know if they'll lower the 318is very much but it will be lower than stock. They put these springs on e30 m3s... they can't be any worse than non-m springs. :)
