Looking at m3 springs

[stevetrocs]

I am looking at getting a set of m3 with 150,000 miles on them. My concern is if they can be worn out?? Also can I used my stock shock with them. I have search but haven't found too much info.

So, is it bad to buy used spring with that many miles?
Can I use my stock shocks?

Thanks for your help.

There is a possibility they will be saggy, but that's chance. Yes you can use stock shocks with m3 springs. There are tons of threads with pics of cars on m3 springs.

Thanks. I saw a bunch of pics but weren't sure if they were running stock shocks.
The ones with 150,000 miles have been the only ones I can find. Is it possible to buy new ones somewhere?

Buying new m3 springs would be silly and outrageous. I'm sure japandrew has a set.

Actually he has brand new 318i m10 springs.

But anyways. Just buy a set of lowering springs or a lower mileage set of m3 springs.

Get a set of H&R OE Sports w/Bilstein shocks, will be much better.
