I can't find 318ic springs!

Thanks for all the input. I had a 84 318i and put in Eibachs with the stock shocks, and it handled great! Can't really affor the bilsteins and springs, so I was thinking of just springs for now. Looks like lots of options...

seriously, look into a set of M3 springs. you can get them used for really cheap. as for the shocks, you could probably run them with the stock shocks but it would be better to use bilstein sports.

m3 was my first choice, but could not find them when I needed them, and I too am running billy sports

i think the m3 springs would be ok with the stock shocks, but it would be something you'd want to replace eventually. with actual lowering springs, you increase the risk of blowing out the shocks.

I found some B and G springs for my 318ic. Anyone know anything about them? I can't seem to find any used m3 springs...

just bought some used m3 springs, we'll see how it comes out!

Tunershop sells 4 cyl vert specific springs, not sure who makes them though. Labeled TS springs.
