    Coupe springs on a Cabrio

    I was wondering if I can run H&R Sport springs from a 325is on my Vert. I can get a set for $100 or I can get Vert specific ones for 150. i would like to go low without going to coil overs.

    Can this be done?

    where can you get vert specific hr springs for 150? I like to know :P but the answer is yes, you can, but the rear will sag more.I would use the 9mm pads on the rear

      OK, Thanks. I bought the Cab specifics and will pic them up next week. The springs were off a members car from another club I belong to up here in Cali.

          Front coupe springs work fine - rears are very harsh and the coils touch each other + you need a huge spacer. I pulled the coupe rears off and bought the correct vert springs - pleased with the result.

            I know this is an old post, so not sure if I will get any responses, but.

            Can coupe springs be run on the front only? Leaving the rears stock. Since the front is higher than the back, I am wondering if this will even out the stance?
            Thanks

              handling would be a bit strange I would think, to go with performace springs on front only

                I was think stock 325is springs. Would that make a difference? I was under the impression that they are shorter than carbio springs?? I know they are a little softer so would that lower the front? I could be wrong and would through off my whole idea.
