    bavauto springs impressions?

    i did a search and didnt find what i was looking for......what i was wondering is, i was looking at springs & i have a chance to get H&R's from H&R for pretty good price but they are out of stock for 6-8 weeeks for the e30... i came across a few people that told me to get bavauto springs.... does anybody here have bavauto springs on there e30 and if so what do you think of them? worth it or should i wait for the H&R for about the same price? or anyother suggestions around bavauto price... any info would be appreciated...thanks in advance

    I've heard the BavAuto springs are really soft and tend to sag. Just what I've heard, though.

      Bav Auto springs are complete garbage. They are very soft, and sag quickly.

      Don't buy from, BavAuto at all. Their phone ordering service is good, but that is where it ends. The morons in the warehouse always mess up your order. It never fails.

      www.bmaparts.com has more stuff, and for ALOT less $$$. Service is second to none.

          I'm running them w/GCs and am quite pleased.

          My friend Matt (SpoonE30) runs them with IE Stage IIIs, and it's a perfect street setup. The progressive springs allow for a soft ride on roadways, and keep body roll down in the corners.

            check and see if morepowerracing.com has H&R in stock. they might.... and that's the cheapest place to get a cup kit.

              I've got bilstein sports and bavauto springs

              if you intend to do anything besides daily driving don't get them

              i was not into autoXing at all, then i got into it, and having soft ass springs sucks

              go H&R for sure
