Which springs to buy ?

[Rory525]

Hi folks

I found out today it is indeed a spring thats broken on my car, so I think I will take the opportunity to fit lowered springs on it.

I was looking for recommendations on which make of springs to buy... would especially like to hear from other owners with mtek suspension to see what suits.

At the head of my list is Eibach at the moment, not cheap but they seem to get a very good name.

I had eibachs on the M5 recently, but only kept them on for a few months, I found them too soft, and the front end kept bottoming out. So I replaced them last month with the H&R's, they are much better. Ride is only a little stiffer, but much better body control

Why don't you get mtech springs, since you want a fake m5. ??

Was that due to heavy landing in inclement weather?lol

I got this link from someone on the board some time ago, seems like a pretty good website.
