    325iX H&R springs on a 318i convertible. Fitment? Issues?

    Hey Folks. I'm wondering if a 325iX H&R lowering springs would fit my 318iC. WIll it compromise anything? Do I need to buy shocks with it as well? Any detail on this helps. I should mention I have 17x7.5 BBS wheels with 15mm spacers. Offset is 42mm.

    Well uh..I'm guessing with the added weight from the cabby, it might compensate for the added weight of the IX...
    It's always a good idea to do shocks & struts.
    I did not do that when replacing coils, and regretted it..but a last, I have them on.

      the front will sit too high. the m42 is lighter than the m20 and the shocks are built accordingly.

      so no.
