Title: E30 spring rate chart
Post by: jhl385 on August 04, 2011, 07:27:03 AM

A while ago (OK - a few years ago) I saw a spring rate chart for all E30's and would like to find it again.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between the stock rates and ride height for the 318is springs and the M3 springs.
If anyone knows the facts or can direct me to a spring rate chart I would appreciate is.
Thanks,
  John
