60/40 drop springs for a 318IS

Post Sat Sep 10, 2005 12:59 am

Hi,
I have been on a search for a good quality 60/40 springs for my 318is.

It looks like KW only makes 55/35 for the 318is, sure it's not really much of a difference, but I want the front of the car to come down quite a bit to minimize the stupid fender gap.

Anyways, I live in Canada where spring options are extremely limited. Any help on what/where to buy the springs would be greatly appreciated!

Side profile pictures of your 318is with 60/40 springs would be appreciated too! It will make my decision much much easier!

iv only got standard mtech on mine at the mo but i hopefully will uprate it one day

iv always been concerned that 60/40 would be too low, but iv beene reassured thats its ok, even tho there is a 35mm all round

u gota remember that cos the IS is already dropped 15 mm its actually a 45/25 drop

HnR cup kit iv heard good things about mate, check out the zone shop

Jimbob 2.7 (which was an iS) has 60/40 H&R Cup Kit. He had that when it had the iS engine and said its the same now with the M20 2.7 engine.

The H&R Cup is not exactly 60/40, its more like 52mm/40mm which is very practical and looks excellent + handles superb

My opinion would be go for it, its no where near too low, its ideal.

You can get this kit from the zone shop at an excellent price.
