    Getting the cup kit

    im about to purchase it and i was checking morepowerracing.com and it says for a 325i but i have a 318i. Obviously i still need to call them but what would be different if i put a 325i suspension on my car, would it just be stiffer?

    It's all the same. However I have heard that the Cup Kit is soft, but probably stiffer than the stock springs

      325i uses larger diametere struts then the early 318i.

      if you have a later 318i you should be fine, but it wont be as low in front as it should be.

        Might wanna run no pads up front and keep pads or maybe even add pads in the rear.

                not too much.

                you should replace your RSMs if you havent already, and probably get new bump stops
