    help with spring choice for my S52 swapped car?

    im currently running stock E30 M3 springs all around, and the front sits way too high.



    i am keeping the air conditioning, if that makes a difference, in terms of spring rate.

    i just know that it can handle and look way better than it does.


    the back sits pretty low, and i DO like that way it feels (and looks)... so perhaps i can get away with just a set of fronts, but i have to do something, ASAP.

    thanks!

    H&R race springs would be a good choice for your application. Nice ride height and a firm spring rate. Nice looking car by the way. Make sure you use Bilstein sports too.

      I am running the Korman Clubsport springs for the e30 m3. They are great. I have them paired w/ some bilstein sports. The springs are pretty stiff but they ride VERY well. They are almost the same ride quality as my old bav auto's.

      You should call up Korman and see about those springs. I know that have at least one more set of them right now.

        i already have the bilsteins all around, in great shape.

        you think i should get the ones for the E30 M3?
        wouldnt those be set up for the weight of a 4cyl? (please pardon my ignorance. :) )

          H&R Race springs are the same between 6 cylinder cars and 4 cylinder cars
