There are different springs listed for the Touring and Cabriolet because they are heavier at the back.
You can fit the springs, but it will sit lower at the back, like the H&R 40mm Front, 60mm Back kit.
Might look good, I'm trying it on mine soon!

Ill take them off tomorrow and try them. Hoping that it wont drop to much with the konis as they a bit stiffer than the standard shocks.

It is the springs that hold the car up not the dampers.
I have some lowered springs on my touring and have sagged badly more so at the back, even though it said 'Touring Model' on the box.
I am trying to source some decent quality springs, not the ones you get with a kit though as these are usually poor quality and will definately sag.
I would expect to pay over Ԛ£30 per spring for anything half decent.

If you want slightly stiffer springs for your touring try some after market cab springs ?
BMW fitted differant springs for cars fitted with the factory tow bar but i dread to think how much these would cost !
I ordered some Spax suspension for my Touring but later found out the kit is ment for the saloon and the Touring. This is a bit of a comprimise due to the differant kerb wieghts and front/rear wieght bias.
I've now got some Spax M3 springs on order that i will use with the adjustable Spax dampers from the first kit i got.
Just to give you an idea of the differant E30 kerb wieghts....
