    I've put on the M3 springs and I got a huuuge drop, or at least more than I thought I'd get. In the rear it dropped around 2 inches, maybe a little more and up front its pretty much 2 inches. I haven't driven the car yet so I don't know what it feels like but hopefully the springs don't settle and lower more.

      ^no, just no. Those are not M3 springs if they drop 2 inches

        Why isn't that possible? M3's are usually .5-1 inches lower than a regular e30 so the 1 inch lowering spring for the M3 should drop a regular e30 1.5-2 inches. I went out and measured before and after and I'm pretty sure it dropped the car 2 inches....

                My drop evened out a lot. After 3 days of driving they havent really dropped anymore, partly because I believe I'm on my bumpstops up front. Good springs if you dont like suspension travel.

                          Yea I will as soon as I have time, but I'm worried its gonna droop even more once they're cut.

                            So what? The whole point of buying these is go low and stiff for less $. You should cut them bump stops in half.

                                I'll say it again....so happy with the 318i springs. Not bottoming out. Noticeable stiffness from stock springs but not a harsh ride by any means. Running bilstein sports and that make a difference in my ride quality over some of the other strut/shocks.

                                Anyone go for the deal that tokico is having or ever have used them? Very curious because that it one hell of a deal.
