ST Lowering Springs

[5Toes]

I just got mine. THEY ARE SO STIFF

I am standing on the rear spring and it wont compress

[Bimmerguy91]

So tempting... I need to stick with a reasonable drop though so I don't kill my oil pan on the 24v swap. Someone get these and post pics!!!

Holy crap, they are now listing 2.4 Inch drop springs for 84-92 318i !!!!!

Wish I had saw these before! SOmeone grab em and try them. It would be a even more significant drop for a 325i!

Heres my 325is with the 318is 1.5 inch drop springs installed. with Bilstein sports. Ride is Really firm! Pair these with E90 Drop hats and it would be perfect.

I've ordered the M3 springs. I'm hoping they'll give me more than just 1 inch of lowering. Has anybody installed the M3 springs on something other than a vert yet?

[Bimmerguy91]

Yes, I compare it almost like H&R race. TINY bit softer, but you really have to try hard to notice. Rides great and firm in the corners.

Sweet I wasnt sure they were that stiff but like I said I stood on the springs and I weigh 230 lbs and it didn't compress it a full inch I dont think

but.. is it stiffer??

anybody wanna sell me a set for my 91 318is? or does anybody know if the e30 m3 springs work? i was gonna buy some and theyre all sold out :(

You might be right, the part number 60025 is possibly for the springs with 1.3" drop. The info is scarce and I do not feel like contacting ST for this info. I got my set for $90.00 CAD shipped to Toronto.

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.

Yea mine are 60045. I think yours were rated 1.3"

[mr ilia]

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

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.

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

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.
