ST Lowering Springs

[glnr13]

are you sure the springs are seated properly?

I have the 318is springs too and I'm even all the way around.

These springs are hardly stiff. Nothing compared to h/r races or IE3s. They could be significanly stiffer up front imo.

They ride super comfy though with HDs! Great dd spring

Yea they are seated properly in the fronts for sure, was there anything specific I had to do for the back?
And did you measure the drop you got?

[glnr13]

here were my measurements after settling:
FL 2 3/8" FR 2 1/4"
RL 2" RR 2"

keep in mind i'm in a lighter m10 model along with e90 drop hats.

check you RSMs, one of mine is busted, so, for now, it sits a tad lower on the left side.

[glnr13]

that makes sense for his rear but his front is off by 3/8" too.

i was thinking for the front that they didn't seat properly since the springs are shorter than stock so when you lower it down it could sit incorrectly or maybe the spring pad is off.

Today I ordered the M3 set and the 318 1.5" drop set. When they arrive I will try to give everyone a comparison of the two. $70.00 is still a good price as of today makes me a happy guy....

Yea I put in a 14.5m rsb at the same time so that isn't it. Maybe I need new springs pads all around?

so i just ordered a set of 318is springs and e90 drop hats. any one have an average shipping time?

Mine took about 5 days for the springs to come in and they were in the same state as me (CA). They should give you tracking number for shipping though, that's the best way to gauge it, good luck.

Just ordered a set. I'm a loser. lol

[IRON-E]

So which ones should I use for a 325ic?

[MoreMayhem]

May have just payed for the last set. E30 M3 springs. Went back and looked at their eBay store and they were gone. Unless they list more, of course...

Sorry that Im sidetracking the thread but what are good shocks for these springs?

I ordered about 2 days ago the 318i that lowers 1.5"

Bilstein sports all day long. Not sure how the hd's would hold up because they are a bit lower than advertised. There is a pretty sick deal on tokico products here http://www.tokicoperformanceshocks.com/
Something like 65 bucks each for the fronts. Worth a shot since you're already saving a ton on the springs
