Hi people.... Recently brought a 318is 1990 (first e30 :) and it's looking abit low at the front... Self diagnosis the springs are knakered. Does anyone know if 325i sport front shocks and springs fit on?? Or am I best of getting some aftermarket suspension? If so which ones? If anyone could help would be much appreciated... Pics will be on soon

Yes they will fit, the iS uses the 325i Mtech 'sport' suspension but with springs for the 4 pot lump. Ideally you'd need iS springs...
That said, I'm currently running uprated 6cyl springs and shocks on the front of my lil-M40, its ok but the ride is quite firm 8O

Good choice winkeye

It could just be its on lowering springs and you just need a set of the original mtech springs to go on there. Iirc the iS springs are 15mm lower than standard 4pot springs.
