ST Lowering Springs

[Bimmerguy91]

No problem! Car looks great!

[SlowThurty]

Really wanna order these up but the only ones left are the m3 1" springs and the 91 318is 1.5" springs. Not sure which to order, looked through the thread and didnt see a car with those springs. Not looking to go super low but want it noticeably lower.

My car:
1988 325
205/50/15 tires
unknown brand of rims

Any help in choosing one of those springs would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

I got mine installed yesterday, 1991 318i sedan, part number was 60025 from ST.
I tried looking up the drop figures, but cant seem to find them anywhere.
I will post pictures in a day or so, i want springs to settle first.

I'm waiting on my billy sports to ship before I install these on my never before lowered car. The front springs feel pretty soft just standing on them. Hope the 1.5" springs wont be too soft for the drop.

I got the fronts installed on my 325is .(bought the 318is ones)

Very very pleased with the drop, almost no fender gap with 195/65/14s and their NICE and stiff. Pics tomarrow once rears are in.

Awesome cant wait for pics!

My car, no real difference before and after, the wheel gap is virtually unchanged, I also have had e90 spring hats before and after. Car is a 1991 318i.
General notes - the new setup is definitely rides firmer and has sportier feel to it.

Before - custom lowering setup made out of 325is front springs with 2 coils cut off and skunk2 coil springs and adjusters out of 2003 civic in the back:



After 3days and 100km:

I'm guessing you got the 318i springs?

[mr ilia]

Yes, those are the only ones on sale.

[5Toes]

but.. is it stiffer??

[Bimmerguy91]

He said its firmer and sportier feeling. Im not expecting much drop either since someone has already cut my stock springs but it should ride and handle a hell of alot better

Anyone have a pic of a 318is with the 1.5" springs?

[TimKninja]

One shitty picture. Fronts are in, waiting on Reinforced RSMs for the rear before i install.

Really satisfied with the drop. Billys sportsfor the shocks. I forgot to pick up my e90 drop hats, i Imagined they would make it even better.

This is a 325is with the 1.5 Inch 318is springs in it. Very good ride.




Note , my fat friend is in the car, but it didnt make much of a difference when he got out. they settled to this height.

See my pictures above. The part number for my springs was 60025. Apparently they are rated with 1.6in (?) drop, but info is rather scarce on the Internet.

The ride is stiffer, i can feel road surface better (was not looking for it), it goes around the corner more planted.
My old rear setup with 6in springs and adjuster, which I reused from Civic, was rated at 350lb/in, these ST springs feel much stiffer in the rear.
