HR Sports

I have HR Sports in my 318 and I love them.

I got mine from Overseas Auto

Whatever you decide on, ensure they are designed for Tourings. You may be able to get away with Cabrio springs... in fact, I'm pretty sure you can. Tourings and Cabrios are much heavier in the back than the coupes/sedans.

For my touring I ordered from Tuning Zubehor in California.

Come now, you may be joking but this is how people start chopping springs...
In case you were thinking of doing it....
DONT

springs are designed with a progressive spring rate, if you start chopping you will screw up all the ratings, no matter how hard you try to cut them equal length, or heat them equal length you will NEVER get it right.... STEER CLEAR... just get H&R's or IE3's or if your baller like Me lol get KW's 60/40 drop
