ST Lowering Springs

[Chriskbmx]

so i just ordered a set of 318is springs and e90 drop hats. any one have an average shipping time?

[JonnyOg]

Yea I put in a 14.5m rsb at the same time so that isn't it. Maybe I need new springs pads all around?

[BamaE30]

Today I ordered the M3 set and the 318 1.5" drop set. When they arrive I will try to give everyone a comparison of the two. $70.00 is still a good price as of today makes me a happy guy....

that makes sense for his rear but his front is off by 3/8" too.

i was thinking for the front that they didn't seat properly since the springs are shorter than stock so when you lower it down it could sit incorrectly or maybe the spring pad is off.

check you RSMs, one of mine is busted, so, for now, it sits a tad lower on the left side.

[glnr13]

here were my measurements after settling:
FL 2 3/8" FR 2 1/4"
RL 2" RR 2"

keep in mind i'm in a lighter m10 model along with e90 drop hats.

[JonnyOg]

are you sure the springs are seated properly?

I have the 318is springs too and I'm even all the way around.

Yea they are seated properly in the fronts for sure, was there anything specific I had to do for the back?
And did you measure the drop you got?

[Balleristic31]

These springs are hardly stiff. Nothing compared to h/r races or IE3s. They could be significanly stiffer up front imo.

They ride super comfy though with HDs! Great dd spring

Anybody know why they 318is springs made mine drop unevenly? After my first drive I measured the heights from the centre of the wheel to the fender
I got a 2.375" drop on the front left 2" drop on the front right
2.25" drop on the rear left 1.5" drop on the right rear so:

2.375" 2"

2.25" 1.5"


The fuck is this shit? I thought it was supposed to be 1.5 all the way around. Pretty pissed right now. Basically riding on my bumpstops.

$99 for springs is a deal! I am trying to sell my springs. I need front suspension money!

Holy crap, they are now listing 2.4 Inch drop springs for 84-92 318i !!!!!

Wish I had saw these before! SOmeone grab em and try them. It would be a even more significant drop for a 325i!

I have those springs, came with their 60/40 kit.

Now I am wondering if the gray springs are the old KW springs and are stiffer than the green ones. Everyone is saying how stiff they are but my springs do not seem that stiff. Comfy ride though.

[Bimmerguy91]

Hmm been around for a while. I thought all the paperwork looked really old. Oh well new springs are new springs

So my box says my set was inspected August 8th of 1996. That means these must have been found in a warehouse somewhere...
