Okay as the title says, may seem like a silly question but its got me! Basicaly i've got a 316 with 51mm struts, will 4 pot springs fit? otherwise working out ride hight when purchasing 6 pot springs is gonna be awkward.

Yep, will fit no problem, 4 pot tourings and 318iS' have those struts.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Im not very good with springs rates etc but im after a low and stiff ride, i got some B6's so would i be better of going with 6pot springs or 4pot? I'd assume that 6 pot springs are gonna be stiffer than 4pot if comparing the same brand simply down to the weight of the different cars. Just seems like the stiffer you go the more money you spend, a set of H&R race springs are gonna set me back £200+ which i dont realy have.

4 pot springs. Putting 6 pot springs on will make it look like a 4x4.
