Before using the search function I was all set on getting some Eibachs for my 325, as I've had them before on other cars and quite like them.

But now I'm not so sure, so what options have I got for softish lowering springs. I don't want a drop of more than 30mm though as the cars currently lowered 70mm and only just got up the farm lane to my workshop....

M-tech springs are not rock hard but are 15-20mm drop only though.
Boge or H&R do 35mm and i doubt the rides rock hard with them either

I've got some AVO or Chassis Dynamics (same company now?) springs which drop by 25mm. I can still get over speedbumps and all, but the handling has sharpened a good amount for the queens highway bumps and all without becoming skittish. (www.avouk.com). Looks rather splendid too. Recommended.

I think Motormec also do a similar BOGE spring package to match the BOGE gas turbo struts? (www.mototmec.co.uk)

money no object? www.birdsauto.com for Hartge

oops I should have said I've got a soft top - I think AVOs springs have different drops for the other 325s (you didn't say which model you have)
