    spring decision

    alright people. i need some advice on sorting out my '86 316. I havnt got much money budgeted for lowering, but i need to sort something out. I know it wont feel the same, but is it alright to just put some lowering springs on and be done with it for now, or should i wait ages until i can afford full kit? also, whats you advice on buying second hand springs - is it advisable and are there things to look out for when doing this?
    Thanks![/b]

          Does your 316 have the 45mm strut tubes? If so, the cupkit won't work for you.

            I think the KW sport application has a 45mm strut kit.

            Its like the cupkit but KW. Spring and struts kit.

            Just call tunershop.com or tunershop.de and they will help you. But you being in the UK. arent there alot of stuff out there for cheaper than us American guys?
