I swapped my stock springs on my 318 for M3 springs and the front dropped a little, but the rear end did not drop at all. Has anyone experienced this? Aren't the M3 springs suposed to drop the car to almost tuck the wheels inside the fenders? Any help would be appreciated.

Drive the crap out of it . When the springs decompress they take a little while to compress to normal . Not really sure if the m3 springs are shorter or not . Probably stiffer I would think.

I thought the size of the coil that sits in the strut of an M3 is small than a regular spring. So +1 on that hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm:eyecr azy

m3 springs have a higher spring rate than stock springs because 1st they handle better and 2nd theyre made for a heavier car

if you want the car lower buy lowering springs or coilovers
a stock spring is not going to lower the car
