    Bavarian Autosport coupe springs on convertible

    I have the opportunity to pick up a set of super cheap bav auto springs off of a coupe, and am considering getting them for my convertible die to being on a college student budget. I know that convertible springs would be ideal, but my question is have any of you guys run this combination? Of so, do you have any pics and how did it handle compared to stock?
    Thanks

    I know people running coupe springs on vert. Fitment is not the issues as I know of. Spring rates are different due to weight difference between models. Google it, I am sure there are many threads about it.

        bavauto springs are already known to be really soft and saggy. On a heavier convertible, that would not work out so well I'd guess. if it were a stiffer spring like the H&R race, sure..

          ^^^ right. I forgot to mention that.

          I bought lowtech 60/50 springs for my vert. If you are looking for stance look, they provide the most drop in the market.

            H&R Race on my vert is perfect. I run extra pads in the rear and no pads in front to get the desired rake. No cut coils since the extra weight of the M20 seems to lower the front more than with the S14.
