Front & Rear coil springs

Post by Atle_323i »

Hi,

I got a question regarding coil springs for E21 323i.
At Koed in Denmark you can order coil springs

https://www.koed.no/en-dk/catalog/diagr ... e=19790500

And you can choose between regular coil springs, and Motorsport coil springs.
Does anyone know what is the difference between regular and Motorsport?

Thanks

Atle

Motorsport springs lower the car by about 15mm iirc and are slightly stiffer, but nowehere near as stiff als Eibach, H&R and the likes.

Ok, thanks for the input. I´ve got a a kit that lowers about 30-40mm I think on my car now, but when driving around in my town where we have alot of speed bumps, the car is too low, and I´m strugling getting over them without the bottom of the car touching the bumps, which is anoying.
So maybe a 15mm Motorsport is ok. The car will not look as cool, but it is better for the car.

Thanks for input.
