    H&R Sport Springs for 318is Cabrio? EDIT: Bilstein/Eibach for the Win!

    I was told the H&R springs for the 325ic won't fit my '91 318is cabrio. Can any 318 owners confirm and/or recommend what they went with?

      I just contacted the company to get their recommendation for which springs to use. I specifically asked if the 50407 springs for the 325i convertible would work. The response I got back was “I regret to inform you; we do not offer springs for the 318i cabrio, so sorry! Best of luck on your search and thank you for the consideration.”

      Are there any aftermarket options for a spring that will perform better and offer a slightly lowered stance than OEM for 318 verts?

        I've had an order in with Summit Racing since November for an eibach/bilstein kit. After speaking with Eibach, they're a custom made spring for the 318 vert. It keeps getting delayed though. First Dec, then Jan, now April! Here's a link, but you can order through a few other major companies like ecs and bimmerworld: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/BSN-46-000156 They said it would drop 1.18" for both front and rear from stock.

        TBH, i'm thinking about trying to find other companies at this point. For example these AST's: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1...8-convertible/ (https://motonsuspensionusa.com/produ...18i-cabrio-e30) I don't know anything about them and the drop on the front seems super low at 2.16"

          Just updating this thread in case anyone is interested now, or in the future, since it was such a pain for me to discover the best product for the cabrio. I finally did receive the 46-000156 kit from Bilstein/Eibach in April. I installed it in May and am super happy with how the install went and how it looks and feels. For any cabrio owners out there, I highly recommend this kit, feels great on the road! Here's a quick shot for drop hight reference:

            Did you confirm the drop?

              Looks good! I did the H&R Touring / Bilstein combo on my 325i vert and love it.

                I know im late but I used the sport springs on my 318 and they worked fine.


                Car looks good with the Eibachs!
