Nope. The gold ones are for sale.
At first I cut the stock springs because I was getting tired of waiting on my kit from Germany. Ghetto, yes, but when done right it actually isn't that horrible. Some shops have been known to sell carfully cut springs as track springs. As you lessen the number of coils you stiffen the spring rate. My car actually rode and handled surprisingly well like that.
Then I built a coilover set for the car while awaiting my Bilsteins/H&Rs (second suspension kit I've bought since I got the car) that puts it where it is in the pics but I wasn't happy with the spring rates I ended up with. 350/450. I went through a friends collection of coilovers and sleaves that he uses to make AE86 coilover kits and came up with the proper length but the weights were soso in my mind.
Then I got the H&Rs and Bilsteins from bmwman91 and installed them and the car sits a hair higher on both ends. I'm going to buy some Falken RT-615s soon so it's probably better that I open up a hair more wheel well gap. I'm probably going to pick up a set of H&R Race springs before too long and off the sports, then trim the front dead coils until I like how the car sits again.
Coming soon to a 318 near you. ABS delete.
