right lads need some info on sport suspension please.

i want to change the standard setup on a 325 touring to genuine sport tech 1 or 2 is there a difference?

and will the sport legs/rear springs /rear shocks swap straight
over please?

also inerested in the difference in spec ride height/spring poundage etc compaired to standard 325i ?
and did sports come with billie inserts as standard?
are the arbs thicker as well ?
cheers

right had a nose on the search

sport springs are standard height but stiffer than standard.

mtech spring is a little stiffer but lower by 15mm or so

green paint dash is sport and orange is the rears

b6 billies we're standard mtech 1 fitment

b4 billies for everyday use.

so on that basis im going to use b4 billies and mtech springs what i need to know
is if mtech springs have the same colour paint dash ie green and orange?
or if not what colour's should i look for?

oh and i could also use boge dampers from gsf

all this info was supplied by simon13 bss325i and b7 (trev)

cheers lads :D

325 Touring shares its front control arms with the M3, so changing back to steel 'Sport' ones would be a downgrade.
