Is this really the stock height?

[grays]

I bought a set of OEM springs and put them in but the front seems to ride much higher than the back... Is this normal?

Here is my 318iS that came with stock 325i springs from the PO.

Yeah this does look stock and very level in terms of wheel-fender gap... unlike mine, where the front gap is much more than the back.

Houston is not the deep south.

Dude really OEM springs ???

I dont like the way the lowering springs ride. It's too harsh.
Also, I dont like the fact that they eat up tires due to the fact that they mess with alignment and especially the fact that the rears are not adjustable.

Have you tried H&R OE sports? They are a slight bit lower and ride like stock. Stock E30M3 springs are also a good compromise too. Bit lower, bit more aggressive but still very forgiving.

plus, i dont think you understand the road situation here in the deep south.. you think you know potholes? pshh... you dont know $hit.

I've never heard anyone wanting to replace their springs with oem. Why do you prefer a high ride?

Did you put 6cyl(325i/iS) stock springs on a 4cyl(318i) car? That's my guess.

From the looks of your thread, yes, this is a 318i, so, my deduction is that you put stock 325i/iS springs on.

anyone riding stock? i wanna see comparison pics... for some reason, i am still not convinced that these springs are for 91 sedan 318i...
