I'm selling some rear springs on Ebay

Ive just been asked if they are for a Saloon or Coupe?

I'm guessing by this he means Compact, seeing as the Compact was based on an E30 does that make the springs different?

Cheers

Would the coupe / saloon springs not be different like touring / saloon springs are different in e30s. Its all down to weight and spring rate.

Campact has e30 suspension design I would have though the spring are completly different

E36 Coupe/Saloon springs will fit a Compact - don't know about ride height though.

All e36 coupes came with M-Tech suspension and as such rode lower than the saloons. This probably what your man is asking about.
