Ohio WTT Tein springs for OEM sport
I have a 2001 325i sedan that is setting on Tein lowering springs. Now my wife wants to drive my car and she does not like it lowered. Will trade even up for OEM e46 325i sport springs. Only problem is the springs is on the car so I will have to come to you or you come to me and do the swap. Would prefer to be no more than 100 miles or so away. I am in Columbus Ohio. you can email me at m3seven@hotmail.com if you include a contact number I will return your call. BTW the car is setting on 19's with NO rubbing issues although I did need to do some very minor fender rolling. with the 18's there was no problems

The reason I was going to OEM was I want my ride back. The Tein springs are not very soft. And I don't really like my car as low as it is. I would consider anything if it raised my car some. I live just outside Columbus

How low is the drop (front and rear)? Are you talking about a full spring and shock/strut exchange? If so, what brand and how many miles on the shocks and struts?
Edit: From Modbargains.com Applications Vehicle Model Years Approx. Front Lowering Approx. Rear Lowering Part No. E46 Coupe excl. M3 2000-2005 1.3" 0.9" SKG72-AUB00 E46 Sedan 2000-2005 1.6" 0.7" SKG72-AUB00 Your pic looks a lot lower than that. Maybe it's just the 19s?

My struts are not that good. I was going to put new Konis on when I swapped them and whoever trades with me can reuse theirs and even have my old ones if they want.

So are you saying that your car islow and a big reason your tires are so tucked is because you have blown shocks?interested pm me

No struts are not blown just OEM and not as good handling as you would think. My struts have a little rust which is why I am changing them better tobe safe than sorry. I think my car looks a little too low. I don't really care for the wheels to tuck that far

Here's what I found online for Coupes (f/r); Factory stock (0.0/0.0) reference point Factory sport (0.55/0.75) or (0.65/0.5) depending on website Tein High Tech (0.7/0.3) Tein S Tech (1.3/0.9) H&R Sport (1.4/0.75) H&R Race (2.0/1.4) I'm also curious about what type of Teins you have. Are they High Tech (SKG72-BUB00) or S Tech (SKG72-AUB00)?
