Re: spring question/323is

                  For years I have recommended Eibach Pro-Kit springs to 
most people,as they have one of the best rides to go with better 
handling.You seem to be one of the few that shouldn't have them.If you want 
a kidney belt,flat out maximum handling 323i,you need the Sportline 
Eibachs,not pro-kit.
               The Sportline's lower the car 1.8"F and 1.5"R(not the 1.3F&R 
Pro-kit's),along with far stiffer spring rates than you currently have.Your 
present springs should be#2033.140's.What you need are #4.3320's,the road 
race springs.I don't have the spring rates available,but Eibach's website or 
800 # to their tech specialists should get them for you easily.The Pro-kit 
you have should be easy to sell, as it is popular.
