rear lowering springs?

[318intelligance]

anyone have a set of rear lowering springs for sale?

i don't. but just wondering.... do you already have front shocks and springs?

and you are doing rear shocks as well right?

I don't know about the other 3 series, but my 318 doesn't have front shocks. Its Strut. And I cut the springs on the strut. (turned out really nice).

I have to do rear shocks, mine are blown!

 

[Wadula]

what??? no shocks? that ain´t possible. every car i know right now has shocks in front as well as in the back!

 

[frolf]

if you cut the springs, you blow your shocks. do both at the same time to avoid putting your car up twice.

318intelligance, "Struts" are shocks, inside of a coil spring, so you do have shocks, and by cutting the springs, you will soon be replacing those shocks

yes, I'm aware that of what a strut is. But I keep shock and strut seperate, cuz thats the way I was taught in school. (sorry)

And I'm not really concerned about the front struts. All the suspension on the car is stock, and the person that had this car before me put 150,000 hard miles on. So the suspension is already pretty much shot. I was thinking about fixing the car up, but the amount of money it would take to get this car running well again, would be astronomical. So I'm just gonna play with it a bit, and save up money for an M3.

I'd much rather have a 6 cyl, than the 4 anyday.
