Can you put any e30 springs on a touring or do you need touring lowering springs

[koh]

the spring weights are bound to be different for the tourings so although they might fit they wont be right

The fronts are the same as there respective 2dr/4dr & cabby counterparts.

Rears are different,although you can get away with using cabby ones on the back of a tourer if you can't find any tourer specific ones.

bassically, any e30 spring will fit and work if your at a loose end but they wont be "right"


for the front of any e30 you need to pick 4 pot or 6 pot depending on which engine is in it, so 6 pot saloon fronts and 6 pot touring fronts are the same,

the rears are dependent on body style, as cabriolet and touring springs are harder for the extra 60-80kg over the back end.

its not a lot, all it dose is make the car about 15-20mm up or down, but the rate of the spring never ramps up properly, so the car handles badly.

I've got springs from an E30 saloon on the front of mine, and E30 M3 standard springs on the rear.

Did try saloon springs on the rear before the M3 ones, just to see what it would actually drive like...don't even bother.
