M-tec softer than regular 40mm lowering springs?
 
Hi folks!

I've got a 95 Ti with a 40mm drop all the way round (think the springs are AP/Vogtland) with Koni Sport and thats just a stiff combo. Will the front end soften up if I change to OEM ClubSport springs (M-tec), or will it be too little too notice?

Thanks :smile:

Niels

Ps. I've got no springrates to give concerning the 40mm lowering springs.

The M Techs will definetely ride better that the 40mm springs, but they 'll not look as good.

Thanks!

Anyone else got experiences with M-TEC? What about M-TEC compared to standard?

Hey mate.

I had the touring springs and switched the front ones to new 1995 Clubsport M springs with new Bilstein HD's. The damn HD's and their added pressure kept the car at the same height as the factory touring bits for about a year. They have finally settled and look and feel great. I will try the rear Clubsports one day. Next may be the H&R sport springs with Bilstein sport, but I really noticed a performance difference switching to the Clubsports. Thinking about Anti-role bars though. All the best.

Cossieturbo: are the m-tecs noticeably stiffer/harder than the original springs?'

M3_KILL3R: I can get them almost everywhere here in sunny Denmark; have you tried a factory bmw dealer? In Denmark the front springs cost around 200$ a pair.

Thanks for the replies!

If you are a BMW CCA member try Jeff Byrn (pronounced burn) at Sam Swope BMW in Kentucky. He will ask for your CCA #. They charge "low" MSRP -20% on parts to members, which is the cheapest I've been able to find (most dealerships use the "high" MSRP on parts and only discount -10%). 502-499-5080. Tell 'em "Hans" sent you.
