touring suspension on a 318

[lukeb]

hi,

just wondering if suspension designed for touring 6 pot would fit a 318i if its got the hubs off the touring aswell?

cheers

The springs and shocks will not suit it at all. Your car will look like its on stilts.

its not standard suspension its a apex kit. 60mm lowering

[M5pilot]

Its still totally wrong for your car unfortunatley.

Unless you are planning a 6 pot conversion

Thread Hi-Jak!
I'm doing the opposite, complete E30 M3 Suspension on my touring, I wasn't expecting any problems?

Anyone know any different?

I did JUST that (e30 M3 spring swap into a 325i touring), and I'd say YES there is a slight problem with that. The problem being that the rear will be lower than the front of the car!

I'm currently getting thicker springpads to compensate, but I wish I had checked before laying down the cash for the springs!

This will be fine with the 60mm drop spring's on, it may look like it's a 40mm drop but you will have thicker shock's and better handling so all in all, it's a good move.

ill keep watching them and if there at the right price i might get them. ive been offered some springs but also need shocks too i put a post in the wanted section but seem to be having no luck anywhere
