Can the 95 and 97 M3 use the same suspension springs?

Anyone know?

The upper spring pad and upper spring plate on the front struts are different between 95 and 96+ M3s, so you'd have to swap these depending on what year M3 your springs are for. I believe that the back is identical between the years.

Thanks for the info. The newer springs would be going on the 95

Anyone know for sure if the rears are a direct swap?
