Advice please: are E39 V8 springs the same as 6cyl springs?

Recommended Posts

Probably but why would you bother to make a car handle bad

Can’t seem to find any V8 springs atm so thought I would ask if 6cyl ones would fit. Just bought a 540i that’s been lowered and it scrapes on my driveway approach so pretty keen to raise it back to standard height

The 6 cylinder spring may not be much better depending on how much its lowered. Regardless of whether they work or not i wouldn't try it especially given the time it takes to do the job. 

Have you tried Weitz Industries. He had a 540i not long ago.

Obviously those are but i dont recall the the actual springs being different in design. Most of the strut hardware appears to be the same too.

Carondo or Trodo have new ones pretty cheap, if you struggle to get used.

Thank you for that. I hadn’t heard about them but will definitely give them a try if I can’t get used items.
