      You might be right, the part number 60025 is possibly for the springs with 1.3" drop. The info is scarce and I do not feel like contacting ST for this info. I got my set for $90.00 CAD shipped to Toronto.

          Yes, I compare it almost like H&R race. TINY bit softer, but you really have to try hard to notice. Rides great and firm in the corners.

            Sweet I wasnt sure they were that stiff but like I said I stood on the springs and I weigh 230 lbs and it didn't compress it a full inch I dont think

              I've ordered the M3 springs. I'm hoping they'll give me more than just 1 inch of lowering. Has anybody installed the M3 springs on something other than a vert yet?

                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!

                Heres my 325is with the 318is 1.5 inch drop springs installed. with Bilstein sports. Ride is Really firm! Pair these with E90 Drop hats and it would be perfect.

                  So tempting... I need to stick with a reasonable drop though so I don't kill my oil pan on the 24v swap. Someone get these and post pics!!!

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

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

                          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.

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

                                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.
