ST Lowering Springs

[Swanny]

I bought the 84-91 set that says 1.3" which is the proper spring for my car. I wonder if the 318is or m3 spring set would have actually lowered my car more.

Im really curious what the spring rates are for these. I went with the 318i set just to tighten things up. Not interested in dropping it too much. Too many country roads that I drive daily full of dead animals and craters.

Now you gotta find the hook up on shocks/struts!

Snagged an M3 set for $70 shipped. I love you Bimmerguy91!

No problem man! Im glad I could help out the community

just snagged some standard I springs for 70....someone try for 60?

Tried $60, didn't work! Somebody should try $65 though.

Snagged an m3 set too! Anyone know where to get a decently priced set of shocks?

Thanks for finding this. Making the slow slow work of upgrading my suspension that much more affordable!


Looking forward to see the first pics when people get these.

Might as well try 60! worst they can do is deny and then you offer 70. Glad people are taking advantage of this.

Snagged a set as well for $70 shipped!

I called and talked to the folks at KW, who were really nice. They said they've got about 20 pair or so left in stock. Get 'em while they last.

Holy shit, what a deal! I offered $70 and it was accepted. I don't even need them but I bought them anyway.

I went ahead and bought the 318iS set since they have the most drop. They'll be fine for a 6 cylinder car too.

E30 M3 springs lower the standard E30 an inch or more, is that right? These would be another inch lower than that? Total of 2 to 2.5 inches lower if installed on a E30 sedan?

Also noticed the picture shows them a cool green color but the description says gray color.

if im not mistaken e30 m3 ride height is .5 in lower. so in total it would be a 1.5 in drop

16" wheel with a 24v? will these work?

no. absolutely not....

if you're going to use this guy you need to sport the e30 m3 springs... unfortunately he doesnt have a set for 325s...
