Well... they will fit but you will have to run your sway bar link down instead up.:cool

Sorry, could you explain the process a little more? Hard to do?

Miles on suspension?

Can you compare it to any other suspension?

It's not hard to do at all once you are replacing the suspension. The M front struts have a piece of metal where you bolt you sway bar link, the none M struts do not come with that, so you need to get a 325/318 sway bar link and bolt it to the lower control arm instead. the M sway bar link is too long so it can not be used.

If I have to estimate I will say 10 to 15K miles. It's 100% better that any other lowering spring in the market, super for DE or autoX, will not bottom down like other H&R setups, and the less weight in the car the more hard and predictable it will be.

Can replacing this sway bar link cause any negative effect, long term damage, reduce performance? Where can I get one?

Long term no. Performance it depends in the driver, I drove 2 Ms one with the sway bar up ond the other down and it felt almost the same. Maybe on professional motorsports where you use one sway bar in the other out will make an impact. IMO I think since the springs are a lot stifer you might not even feel the change. I've seen some people runing a lot stifer susp like me w/out a rear sway bar to reduce oversteer. So if after installing it you have some oversteer I would reduce the damping on the front and run the rear sway bar on hard.

Oh no.. they are not adjustable camber plates. they just are OEM M3 plates, that means they are tilted back not straight like the ones from a OEM 325/318/328..etc This allows more shock tavel and less stress on the shock.. since is on a more agressive angle..

Adjustable camber and toe plates are kind of expensive a none full race set of plates will be $200 to $250 and a full race set up will be $400 like the ones ground control has. But if you are into driving this susp is a very good start point.

Dude I understand... If you lived in the area, I would've put it on so you test it. You had a bad experience.... besides my videos that is all I can do..... I think I have one that is a 0 to 150mph pull :dunno

POS: last week I went to looked at this 1993 318is, this guy is selling it for $1600. I said, what in the hell.. w/all the parts I have I can put a 325 together but the car was so bad I wouldn't give him 1K for it...

do you know how many lbs the stock front and rear springs are of a 328? I belive they are 275 oe 330lbs not really sure I think I read that somewhere
