Hi, I'm dropping A 6pot lump in my 318i and had a quick question on the springs.. Basically can i put 325 lowering springs on my 45mm struts?

Cheers.

Yes, but you need to upgrade the struts anyway

Yes, the 6 cylinder 320i saloon used 45mm struts but as
Ross says,
Best to upgrade to the bigger 51mm struts.
