pics- e30 w/m3 springs?

[ColdAccord]

I'm thinking about putting m3 springs on my 325, as I have to drive it in the winter but would like something a bit stiffer. anyone have pics of the drop?

imagine your car, but half inch or so lower. not much of a difference

About a .5-.75" drop on my car. It's noticeable if you park your car right next to a stock one. Stiffens up the ride slightly. You can only really feel it in corners, not much in normal driving. Swaybars help, as well as some sportier shocks (like my Bilsteins ;) ).

This car has stock M3 springs.

I paid $50 for them and they were way wearth it IMO. :)

I've never looked at the suspension on this car- but is there anything you can do w/spring hats to lower more?

[Rob]

remove them

Low, are you running spring pads?

Here is my Friends 86 325e with m3 springs he lives about 30 mins up the road from me foir him the m3 springs were the bext bet as he didn't want it slammed but didn't want 4x4 mode either.

[LowR3V'in]

Your car sits unusually low for M3 springs... that's why I was asking.

[LowR3V'in]

You think so?

Thanks! :up:

You can give it a 6mm drop by buying thiner spring pads from the dealer ($20 I hear)
