Hi
they are for a 318is. My mechanic mate told me they were the way to go with aset of bilsteins. Will they be ok or would could you recommend another make of springs?
cheers

Not sure if M3 springs would fit standard struts to be honest.

Maybe Mtechnic springs may be ok

The M3 springs will fit the struts as the reverse is true...

I seem to recall that the iS and M3 share rates so not sure why you'd order M3 ones over iS ones??

ok thanks for that info.
I was wanting to drop the suspension about 20-30 mm. Any particular make recommended?
thanks

318iS and M3 springs are exactly the same! So there would be no gain in putting 'M3' springs on.
