89 M3 springs on my Convertible?

[parkerbink]

My goals are: to make it a little lower, make it a little stiffer, get medium stiff shocks in a few months.

I have answered all of your questions, might I get answers to mine?

How is this a cheap solution, (cheap meaning poor, bad, wrong)

How could I have gotten good springs for less? I just got the shipping manifest the damn things weigh 27lbs so getting it fedex delivered for 105.00 seems like a great deal to me.

You can't get good springs for cheaper, because suspension isn't cheap.

So what are you saying? M3 springs are not good? I find it difficult to believe BMW uses bad parts.

The car is high (look at the picture) but also these springs are bit soft. Thats why when I go over speed bumps I bottom. So I want something a bit stiffer. M3 springs seem ideal & I think they must be good quality since BMW used them for (at the time) the premier e30.

What am I missing?

[Digitalwave]

I give up.

[parkerbink]

I give up.

I have as yet to hear the slightest response to any of my questions to your points. Thanks for refusing to have an intelligent exchange of thoughts.

I ask are M3 springs bad, you say "You can't get good springs for cheaper, because suspension isn't cheap."

I say I got them for 105.00 you say I overpaid.

I ask how you figure since they are more than 125.00 per axle you say buy a real setup for 200.00 I say I don't want to go that low you say put up with it. But at no time have you given a real answer to any of my questions.

Thanks for giving up at least I don't have to answer any more of your questions that will not get answered when I ask you for information.

I don't understand your point of the price being $125 a corner. I am sure even stock 325i springs cost around that much, so around $400 a set, but when people buy springs do they buy stock 325i springs for $400? No they buy Eibachs or H&R's for $200. Erick is selling H&R Sports for $125! You just bought a stock spring that has 100+k miles on it, when you could have a stiffer, better quality spring with 5,000k on it. A spring that was designed for YOUR car, not the M3.

80 shipped fedex for a seriously heavy box? And I can't use any seriously lowered spring because I am in freaking Mexico with 3rd world roads.

Then use your springs and be happy with it.

how do you arrive at 100k on these springs? how low would the H&R's make my car?

I do not want to go more than an inch lower & from what I determined the M3 springs will be around 3/4's of an inch so Thats fine. I am not on any level trying to argue. I asked before I bought the springs to see if they fit. That's seriously all I was trying to accomplish.

I am sure you know much more than I do and I appreciate your time and intelligence. Sorry if I offended you.
