    e32 lowering springs recommended?

    Hi guys,

    Can anyone recommend some good + good value lowering springs for a 1992 e32 730i 6 cylinder?

    Have full suspension set-ups on my other cars but just wanting something basic without having to buy new shocks.
    Understand it's not the best for shock life but car will be lucky to be driven once a week.

    Will be riding on 16 inch style 4s off an e38 750IL.

    Thanks in advance

    I will move it to the E32 forum, there the E32 owners with own experience can comment

    Eibach for example https://www.eibach-shop.com/search?s...=bmw%2Be32&p=1

    Does anyone know if there is a way to buy only the front springs from KAW, and not all four?

    It's surprising they don't offer only the front springs, considering that many want to keep the original LAD suspension at the rear.

    I contacted KAW and received this reply:
    yes, that is no problem, but the shipping cost 149,- EUR to Canada.


    Shipping kills the deal
