    325e and 325es spring rates?

    I've seen the "master list". It does not specifically list the e and es models. I'm curious what the spring rates of the OEM springs are on these two models. Might as well throw in vert springs while we're at it. I've done a lot of searching with little results for e and es springs.

    I just picked up an '84 eta. I have access to vert springs and es springs, so which is stiffer? Are they the same height? (I realize ride height is affected by car weight)

    I'm looking to replace the cut springs on the car with either the vert springs or the es springs. I'm looking for the springs that will provide the lower/stiffer ride of the two. I have a barely used set of Billy Tourings to put on there as well.

    Anyone? I know I've seen vert and eta spring rate numbers before, but I do not recall where and I cannot find it now.

      The e/i/c front springs are all the same.
      The e/es/i/is rear springs are all the same.
      The es/is front springs are stiffer and lower than the e/i/c.
      The cab rear spring is different than the rest. The cab is heavier in the rear than the coupes & sedans so they would most likely raise your car in the rear.

      So I would say go with the es springs.
