    Looking for chart comparing spring rates

    I stumbled upon the chart Friday and have not been able to find it again. A couple of searches didn't help. Anyway, it included the rate of just about every spring including turner j-stock, h&r etc. If anyone can get me back to it or provide another i'd appreciate it. Thanks, George.

            I was under the impression that stock 325i and 'is springs are the same

              A lot of those rates are wrong. At least some of them I recognize as e36 rates, not the e30.

              PS I know that Jean didn't assemble the original list, that has been kicking around for a while.

                    I think Gustav has stock e30 rates on his website (e30performance)

                    My only for sure notes are the Eibach prokit at 20N front and 49-57N rear.

                    This is 114 front and 279-325 which is different from that chart.

                    Also, Vogtland makes Tokico springs so they should be the same rates.

                    Plus Koni doesn't make a coilover for the e30, they never did, so that doesn't make much sense either, and the rates listed for that kit are more in line for the Koni e36 kit.

                    I think this is a chart that somehow got e30 and e36 blended together in a cut and paste accident.

                    Hope this is helpful,

                    oh by the way.... don't forget that in 1986, Cyndi Lauper was hot, and 15 inch wheels were radical, so what was good then may not be good now.
