For sale, available this week. I'm going back to stock Mtech springs. These are awesome though, nowhere near as harsh as I thought they'd be, but too low for my driveway. Used for a month, about 300 miles on them, so practically new. $200. Will have pics posted tomorrow. __________________

Yeah, all four. Plus shipping. I still have the original box and warranty papers, so it'll be like getting it new. Sorry for the delay, my ISP was out for the past 2 days. __________________

What kind of drop did you have with these? How many inches afte they've settled? Thanks. | | | | | 06-02-2006, 04:33 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: San Francisco Posts: 308 |
removes all fender gap. front and rear. no problems with rubbing though. drop is about 2.2" front 1" rear (approximate,check any website selling H&R for more exact figures) for another perspective, this is a front Mtech sport spring alongside the front H&R race spring.  and I have to say, I really miss those suckers.....even with the msport springs the car feels like I'm driving a truck now... =/ __________________

I have a set of those springs sitting in my basement.
They came on the car when I bought it.
The ride was good and it handled like it was on rails.
Speed bumps and crowned roads are a problem.
I went to stock 323ti Sport Springs.
But now that I have another daily driver and my shocks are shot, I'm thinking about putting them back on.
I run 235/40/17 tires. No problem with rubbing. Full lock may have rubbed slightly on the inside. You could just about get your fingers between the tire and fender. __________________ ...steven
