Pic Request: '91 318is w/M3 springs

[318driver]

rwdrift, do both of those have M3 springs? Also, do you or does anyone have a side-on shot? Thanks... I'm picking up a new car Saturday with them, and I just want to see other peoples' cars w/the springs.

my point exatcly, you can't even tell the difference. One of them is stock suspension and the other one is on M3 springs.

if im right, and i think i am, both his sig pic and the one he posted is both with m3 springs

i have a 325ic, and i plan on doing m3 springs, I think they are great, I dont wanna be too low, i wanna be stiffer, but still comfy, and i wont have crappy camber and go through tires in a month like my brother with H&Rs did. It seems like a win win situation on my half

You still have camber with M3 springs, and I didn't think they were noticably stiffer on my 325i.

Is that a new sig TJ? :D I hope not! ;)

[318driver]

im not sure if my last post was all that clear, I plan on doing it, but havent done it yet, and i was told by someone who has done this before that the camber doesnt get off that bad, and its not a noticable issue

yeah i dont think a sub 1" drop is going to drastically affect camber

[Digitalwave]

Not drastic, but there will be some.

Where would you find 10mm deeper spring hats?

Honestly, they are pretty ghetto. They greatly reduce your shock travel and my car bottomed out all the time with them.

BMP sells them for like $180. There is another company (JOM) that sells them cheaper but they are hard to get and lesser quality.

Actually I never had problems with bottoming out... probably becuase of the 318's lighter weight.

And your car is just a wee bit higher. :)

Thanks for the replies guys. At least I know the handling will be improved until I can afford the GC coilover/Koni package I'm looking at.

I think it'd be worth setting the money aside to a GC/Koni fund instead.

Um... hence the reason I am.

The car he is picking up this weekend already has M3 springs.

My bad.
