    What springs for 325 1" drop

    I want better cornering and whatnot, but don't want to go too low, as I have to drive this in the winter. I was thinking m3 springs, but they are rated for a 4 cyl obv, so I'm not sure about those. Just wondering if there was something with a .75"-1" drop I could get instead?

    I think H&R OE Sport springs lower somewhere in that range. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

        Many people put M3 springs on 325's and the handling is fine. You can pick up a used set for under $100, definately worth a shot. They are rated around 100f/300r lbs/in. and lower the car about an inch.

          Just for comparison, what is the stock 325i spring stiffness?

                BavAuto springs drop a car about 1.25 inches.

                      Thats because Bavauto springs sag like a whore.
