Re: m30 335 springs

Didn't want to harsh as daily road car so went for a 20% uprate over the H&R spring I sent them, so think spring is in the region of 270 ibs ? on the second rating as spring has slight progression to it, coil size is up as well.

Re: Sheared brake nipples

If theres anything left sticking out then I've seen it done by welding a similar sized bolt onto the stub. U can then get a spanner on it plus the heat will free it off, does work.

Anyone know the part number for M3 aircon model front springs as will be going to the stealer on Mon and want to get the wright ones.

Have looked it up in realoem but when cross reference the part No shows them as the same springs fitted to 316,318,320,325 so that can't be wright.
