Just put OEM sport rear springs on my 325 sport and now feel the front is sitting too low,or infact i feel the back is a little too high.My question is this: is there an aftermarket quality spring set up that retains standard sport ride height give or take 5mm as i feel buying all 4 now is my only way to ensure i get this right.At BMW prices i would rather i got a quality aftermarket spring as i am usually disappointed in BMW springs,and even more disappointed in Euro Car parts equivalents.
Any help appreciated..

To be honest, the only choice other than genuine BMW M Tech springs are either Eibach or H & R. Both are fantastic quality and you won't be disappointed. What dampers and anti roll bars are you using?

Car is totally standard and i would prefer to keep it that way appearance wise...are the eibach/hr alternatives specific lowering springs or good alternatives to oem?

Hi there, Eibach and H&R springs will lower your car by about 30/35mm or so. They are very very high quality and your car will ride well with them, whether you fit Bilsteins or standard Boge M Tech dampers. If you want to go completely standard, then I don't think there is any quality alternative other than genuine BMW parts.

You sure it's not appearing to sit high because you've been used to tired old suspension that actually sat low and is infact still sitting low on the front?

I think Kedge is probably right, these things look like 4x4s on new standard springs and MTech were only 15mm or so lower than stock.

I agree that could be the case and therefore new front springs OEM style may be the way to go...however the 4x4 look isnt that appealing either lol
