    ST Lowering Springs

    Hey everybody I just ordered some ST lowering springs for my E30 on ebay from KWautona. As most of you know ST is a sub brand of KW and is pretty high quality stuff. ST has decided to discontinue the ST lowering spring for the E30 in North America and they are on sale right now for 99.99 shipped! You also have the option of making an offer which I decided it was worth a shot and offered 80 shipped and my offer was instantly accepted. I was kinda skeptical of the price at first but I dug a little deeper and it is genuinely a killer deal.



    I will post pics and a review whenever I get them installed. I plan on using them with 15mm drop hats and bilsteins.

      Actually I know for a fact they will accept 80. So 80 bucks shipped for german made springs. lol you really cant beat it. Plus they are stiffer than the eibach pro kit. They should be fairly similar to H&R Sports

                  it's either i sport e30 m3 springs on my 325i and find my own shocks or i buy one of these sets http://www.ebay.com/itm/310342597573...#ht_500wt_1156 trying to outweigh the pros and cons...

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

                      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

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

                            Advertised for 91 318is, 1.5" drop:


                            Advertised for all E30 318i, 1.3" drop:


                            Advertised for E30 M3, 1.0" drop:


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

                              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.
