    Putting 325i suspension in 318i

    Are there any issues with this? I'm about to purchase used shock and springs that were on a 325i, and put them on my 318i. I know my car is a few 100lbs lighter so will my car drop not as much ?

    Thanks...sorry if this question seems kind if dumb.

    The front may sit a bit higher than it's supposed to but other than that there are no differences if i remember correctly.

      Depends on the year of 318, the early model 318i's have a smaller strut tube than the 325i's.

        everything will swap, provided you use all the parts. You can't use 325 inserts in 318 tubes. You can still use your old brakes if you are worried about that.
