Anyone install coupe shocks & spring in vert?

[jaydeep]

I bought used bilstein sport shocks & H&R sport spring which came out of 325i. I install rear shocks & springs now car is bouncing too much. I know spring rates are different for vert but should not make big difference.

Did any one install coupe shocks & spring in vert? I am going to install front tomorrow.

It does make a difference. There is a reason why they specify a kit between verts and coupes. Why would there be two different kits if it wasnt a big deal?

Vert kit spring rates are higher to prevent your result.

I'm running stock M3 springs and KYB shocks/struts on my vert and overall I like the height and ride.

I have a Bilstein BTS kit for a coupe in my cabrio, and it is excellent. Nice ride and sits just right!

^ Man, that looks good! What are the wheel and tire specs?

I have bilstein sport shocks (coupe) with h&r race springs (coupe) and it doesn't bounce at all in the rear. It is definitely lower in the back because of the extra weight.
