Anyone know if there are any difference in say 325i lowering springs and 318i. No a guy selling ones from a 325 and I need them to fit 318i. Thanks for the help guys. Heres an example below :-

On a 318i I would expect 325 springs to sit too high.

This is because the 325 springs will be designed take into account the extra weight from the heavier 6 pot engine

Pysically they will fit, but due to the difference in engine weight as mentioned above it wont sit or ride correctly.
