This car is just full of surprises. And not in a good way.
Race springs arrived. The ebay seller "myauto" has them listed new for $250 shipped. However you risk getting sent OE springs the first time apparently. I think it was still worth the wait, cheapest I could find them anywhere else was $359.
So now that I finally have my new shocks, mounts, and springs, I can go install them. When we were swapping them out, I made quite the *facepalm* discovery.
Dont recognize that spring number? You shouldnt...because they are meant for a Jeep Liberty.
(EDIT: Turns out the new part number for Jeep Liberty Springs is the same as the old stock h&r e30 m3 springs)
...
Yes, you just read that correctly. Someone put Jeep Liberty springs in a e30 m3. Ill just let that sink in for a moment...
Cant change the past, but we can change the present and future. Mmmmm, new parts.
Unfortunately, I wasnt able to replace the front strut mounts as expected. I didn't realize they made offset strut mounts, and I bought normal ones. Oh well, the ones that were in there were in good condition, and my 325i could really use the strut mounts anyways.
Bring on the lowz
And in case anyone was wondering, it rides a little better without jeep springs
And some misc pictures
