      But they are not up for a best offer, just a bid auction, and there is $59 shipping (to me at least in SC).

              Anyone find out the rates of the 318is springs? I think they were like 0045 or something

                  After running for a couple of months on st M3 springs with e90 drophats on my 325, I've decided to ditch the drophats when I swap the shocks. The drophats add a little too much rake, with too little suspension travel before hitting the bump stops.

                      The rear feels much stiffer than 285#. They feel very close to H&R race and those are 570 in the rear.

                        Ran an ice race (that was more of a mud race) with the St springs. They were great, being stuff enough to control body roll and prevent bottoming out over bumps, but soft enough to not be jarring.

                          I shouldn't run into any issues if I stick my stock 325e springs back in there, eh?
                          I've decided to leave the springs in as I've gotten accustomed to the ride. Also, Celebrex does wonders.
                          I've added in dpring pads in the rear to get rid of some reverse rake as well.
