Just bought H&R springs, have a Q?

[darvo]

I bought them used and the owner couldnt tell me which they where,they are stamped 3/1 VA and 3/1 HA. Does anyone know if these are Sport or Race H&R's??

[stumble_t]

is there a "504..." number on them?
there are 2 kinds of "sport" springs

1. OE Sport 50404-55
2. Sport 50406
3. Race 50404-88

[darvo]

Nope. They just say H&R K/O Bmw 3/1 VA (F) for fronts and H&R F/S Bmw 3/1 HA (R) for rears.

Never mind just found them, they are sports, 35 to 50mm drop. http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap...ngs/29664.html

Thanks for the help!! ;)

Would these drop a little more if used with Billy sports?

[stumble_t]

That spring you showed a link to (29664) is specific to the early m10 318i, and its part # isn't used on any other e30.

I'm sure the published drop spec has to do with the gvwr of that car.
I don't see how a Bilstien sport shock will affect the "drop" any.

the shocks you use have nothing to do with the drop.

According to turner motorsport, they can be used on the 84-91 325 but the front drop will be more than the rear so no prob.. 1.5" F vs 1.25" R
