The Cabrio Suspension Thread

[CorvallisBMW]

OK guys, got a spring question for ya.

I'm currently running H&R convertible sports. No pads in the rear and 2 coils cut out of the front w/ e90 drop hats. The stance is perfect (see sig) but the ride is stiff as fuck. Looking to mellow it down a bit and use springs I don't have to cut :rofl:

Looking in to either H&R Sports or Eibach Pros, probably for a 318is since they'll be setup for less weight and I want this thing pretty well dumped to the ground (which should be hard to do given it weighs 3150lbs and a 318is is about 2600)

Any thoughts on H&R vs Eibach? Or how about the ride height difference between 325i and 318is springs?

billie HD'z are the stock setup for M3's.
does that mean they would suffice on a 325 cab with m3 springs?

just perfect, i want my car to be jus like this, maybe a bit lower in the front, can you give me full list of suspension parts? thx

The PO put the suspension on it but what I am told its all Eibach stuff, even matching shocks. E90 drophats would be nice but the car is not a keeper. Just a project.

So I'm going to be putting m3 springs up front. Do you guys think my stock struts will be okay? Also, are KYB gr2s just stock replacements or are they better?

Thanks,
