do z3 springs fit ti???

[Philly]

as above...

i need to get new springs for the front of my 6cyl upgrade... and don't want to mismatch spring rates.

could i just buy a set of H&R's for a 2.8 z3? or will that not work so easily?

They fit fine. I had 1.9L Z3 H&R Race springs on my '97. The rear was slammed, but the wasn't so drastic. Normally, H&R springs will give you a raked out stance, but with Z3 springs, it pretty much lowers it even in the front and rear. My rear wheels tucked rather nicely, while my fronts had about a 3/4-1 inch gap between the tire and wheel arch. The car looked sweet and handled fine. BTW, this was when I had my style 42's with 215/40/17's. See my sig and photo gallery for pics.

awesome, thanks jess!

Z3 2.8 springs on their way soon then.... now i wonder if i should go with the races or sports ;)

hmmmmm, got any direct rear shots jess? i wanna see how badly the camber gets fawkered.
also interested to see how the 215's fit on the 8" wide

i have a 95' M3 swap and i run z3m springs at the back and stock e36 m3 at the front. It looks real good but not slamed... I still have camber issues though. Also a question for everyone. Will the z3m front springs fit my front setup? As i would like to lower it a little. But if i have to buy m3 springs for the front and z3/ ti spring for the back that could be a pain and lots more $$$
Thanks

I was going to do something similar... but ive heard mixed reactions about driving around with 2 different spring rates... so im just going to get the 6cyl z3 springs, if you can wait, ill let you know how it turns out for me.

Does someone know which Z3 front springs are the closest mach to 318ti M pack springs? Right now I'm on H&R sport, pitty the only place where I enjoy that is on closed track, almost all streets in my country are realy painfull to me and car.

This street has been repaired a day ago:

H&R makes OE replacements which only lower .25"-.75" ... oddly enough I think they are also referred to as Sports.

[thesk8nmidget]

yeah they are called OE sports.

if you want some sport spings i will sell you mine.

[Instigater]

I want something like original M pack suspension, right now my H&R setup is 35mm lower at front and 20mm at rear. I see some offers of Z3 stock and M pack springs on ebay right now, I'm trying to figure out the closest mach.

[thesk8nmidget]

well if you would like a set of stock m tech springs off my club sport let me know.
we could trade or i'll sell

[Instigater]

OK, I'll note that. Shipping costs could be high, I'm right on the other side of Earth in country called Latvia. Spotted items on ebay are just ~25$ far.

[thesk8nmidget]

ohh gosh... alright well let me know.

So are z3 front springs the same as the ti? Which would mean my m3 struts would not work with z3 front springs...
Does anyone just have rear lowering spring that would be mildly lower than the z3m spring i have on the back??
