Looks good! How do you like the spring rate in the rear?

Here is a quick shot of kw 60/40s with the matching kw shocks and struts.
I can't get a more level photo if requested.

Thanks for your input... I never thought about looking into KW. Makes sence since ST and KW sold by the same company. 362 is nice in the front but 371 for the rear is somewhat soft if paired with fronts. If you install springs in the near future, would you please post some pictures. Thanks

As soon as they get here as well as my Bilstein Sport front strut/Camaro rear shock combo I'll be putting them on. I'll be sure to snap some pics as well. From reading what others have said in this thread I have a feeling that rear spring rate is wrong. I'm guessing its probably higher than that.

I just purchased a set of those off eBay for a steal. The most I've found is that they are the same as KW 60/60 springs and I've seen varying numbers for the rates. The last one I looked at said 362 lbs front and 371lb rears. I don't know how accurate that is though.

So I just bought these for my 1991 318i. It's stated as 2.4" front drop and 1.6" in the rear. Just wondering how that'll look and if anyone has pics of that .... Also I've gone through the entire thread and didn't see much about the kinds of shocks everyone is running with these springs. I'm doing a suspension "refresh" and would love some input. (FYI I'm on a pretty tight budget). Here's the link:

Can't wait to get these bad boys!

Congrats! I would assume you want to run Bilstein Sports with these as they do have significant drop. That's what I am planning to use.

Anyone have experience with ST springs # 63209?
They are 325i 6 cyl yellow springs with 2.4" drop front and rear.
I would like to know spring rates and possibly some pictures of them installed.
After searching for an hour with no luck, decided to ask fellow enthusiasts.
Thanks

^post a picture!
I have the 318is st springs e90 drop hats and spring pads all around..the rear is really low more than I would want it...the front is good perfect heaight...im running trm c1s with 205/50/15...it looks much lower with stock weaves..previously had hr sport oe did not make much difference I had a 3.5 finger gap on the front now I have a 2 finger gap
love the ride height and handling is about the same as hr sports. the car does feel stiff in the front...
