    Default Springs

    Can somebody point me in the direction of front spring rates for E34`s? Making my own coil-overs and need a starting point for new springs, assume TDS is about the same weight as 535?

    I dunno what you're asking for but these are nice replacement springs for your model.

    Thanks but tried them,not stiff enough,on fourth set and going coil-over as springs cost $26 so can experiment. Also ride height problems will be eliminated, hopefully.Need datum to start with.

    A newton is about 100 grams; there are 454g in a pound. And 25.4 mm to an inch. Happy calculating!

    As to which column, the two where it says N/mm!
