MASSIVE, heres the puzzle my buddy off of a site here in the states measured a set of EIBACH pros that are a set of 40mm springs AND the specs are all the same EXCEPT the heighth it was 12 inches for the eibach 40mm's AND 10.5 heigth for the mystery springs and if you looked at the site i put in the last thread the SpecE30 REGS for the NORTH AMERICAN SPORTS
ASSOCIATION it said that the EBS BMW 3/1 was infact a direct alternate for a set of H&R RACING spring and i researched H&R and got that the race springs lower e30s 50-60mm front im just looking for someone to verify the
little info i have unturned but any6 help wiil be appreciated 8)

I think the measurements of the springs is pretty irrelevant, they all differ in compression when loaded. The 1/3 definately is the drop and equates to approx 40mm on the vehicle they weren't manufacturered to suit.
