Hard to make sense of the numbers on those springs, except the last number looks like spring rate in lbs/inch |

Also 52 for the inner diameter is also odd, I think it has been determined that the ID on these springs is 60mm |

to think I was running 800/1200 before on the CS and now the GTS has pretty much half of that...
now we just need someone to post the lengths and spring rates people put onto the stock GTS suspension |

I think you are right, looks like an orange camber plate up top but I'm not sure about that orange tophat? Shock also looks slightly different than mine. Weird part is the spring part numbers are the same as mine so they seem to have retained the stock springs. However I just noticed his picture of the rear is showing the helper spring part no. Here is my pic of the helper and main spring part no's, and the stock front

I wonder if the numbers on the springs are Eibach / BMW internal reference numbers. Sort of like a non-stocking part number. If you look at www.realoem.com there is no individual spring part, rather a "kit" sold as a set of springs with ancillary parts.
The 5/16 or 25/16 number reference may be the Eibach production date (similar to tires). 5/16 would be the 5th week of 2016. The 25/15 would be the 25th week of 2106. |

Also snapped this pic of the front spring measurement tonight, my coil has almost no preload so full length should be very close to, if not, the 7.5" shown. Last edited by daveishi; 05-06-2022 at 02:25 PM.. |
