E30 lowering springs

Recommended Posts

Jamex Superlow springs (progressive, 60mm drop). Suit 4 cylinder (not that it matters probably).

Ask $150 o.n.o

OR will SWAP for any motorsport springs from an M325 or 318iS (must have correct m marking and part number visable)

Cheers

Excuse my ignorance, but how does this 'superlow' vs 'progressive' work ?

In my uneducated mind I had the superlows and progressives as different springs where the superlows dropped 60mm and the progressives dropped 40mm.

superlow refers to the drop (60mm vs 40mm)

progressive refers to the spring rate...ie it is not linear. linear is a constant spring rate through the travel. progressive is soft at first before getting firmer towards the end of its travel

Right, so you get a reasonable amount of travel when cruising to smooth things out but its stiffer if you throw it around more ?

If superlows are 60mm what do they call 40mm ?

Thats the theory

40mm are just low (a 40mm drop is SFA on an e30)
