Default Lowering Springs

Just wanted to clearify that any none M E36 spring will fit the TI for lowering. Or am I just completely looney? Reason I say is because I found some on ebay for really reasonable. On the other hand Turner motorsports has a set of H&R's for like $230.

Thanks for the clear up on that. I guess I'll just get the set H&R's from Turner then. Thanks

So the front suspension is interchangeable with all e36 parts and the rear only with e30/ti specific parts...?

The simple answer to that is yes but do your research before you do anything. The E36 M3 has different struts than the rest of the E36s. The rear springs from an E36 would probably fit in there, but that doesn't mean you want them. The Z3 and all it's variants should fit the ti also.

Ive used ti, z3, and non-ti specific E36 springs on my ti in the rear, all fit and worked fine. Im currently running Mroadster stock springs which lower the rear to H&R Race spec for the ti. Front are capatible with all the other e36s.
