Hey guys I am selling some springs to a guy with a 325ix and he is wanting to lower his IX a little bit. I have 318is springs but are they shorter than stock IX springs. Do I need to cut my stock springs to give the buyer a slight drop or can I sell them as is?

They are likely the same length, just softer.
You buyer would be better off cutting a dead coil off his ix springs. -
Well I read another thread where someone said the IX spring is 1 inch longer in the front, and the buyer also doesn't have the means to cut the coils.
Also what is the best tool for cutting the springs?sigpicComment

A cutoff wheel in an angle grinder.Originally posted by MattBimmer View PostThe car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

From what i recall ix springs are the same part # as 325e springs. They are definitely not longer.Comment

Alright thanks for the input and luckily I was wrong the Buyer has a 325I and his brother has the IX. Cutoff tool and angle grinder it is. One full loop from the top would be a good drop right or do I need to do a have coil from both sides.sigpicComment

One coil from one end should be fine.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
