Both my 320 and 316(soon to be 335) need lowering by about 3 miles, anyone know what the painted stripes mean on the springs and what to use on both cars? Cheers in advance lads

Cheers Martin, looks like people don't really mix and match origional springs for different results , they just get aftermarket kits, but I'm skint and just want to improve /lower a little bit using different models already out there .
regards
