:thumbup: NEW, never installed UUC/Sachs 92-95 325I Sports Tuned lowering springs:
Original price: $325 new plus tax, shipping (heavy/bulky item) and backorder waiting
Selling for $300
Why I am selling: (sorry long story) I had recently had a hell of a time figuring out what was making a clanking noise from my front driver's side. In short changed everything brake pads, new rotors, suspension components and it still made the noise. I currently had/have a UUC/Sachs Sports Tuned Suspension Stage 4. Great product. It has been installed in the car for a bit over a year. Well decided to replace the front strut (thinking it was the problem) bad thing you have to buy the whole set (of struts,shocks, and new set of springs = $700+) which I did. Obviously, I had a new set of springs (left the old ones in the car and also only swapped out the 2 front struts. My problem is they weren't the problem. It turned out to be one of the bolts holding my brake caliper is cross threaded/loose. So now selling the springs or a complete sports tuned set.
Springs alone: $300 new never, never installed
Springs and new shocks (rear-never installed) plus less than a month old front struts: $600 -I will but my old one's back in
Springs and my ~1.5 year old (mileage estimate less than 10K miles) shock/struts:$400

The Tuned Suspension System is TUV-approved, assuring 100% compatibility with your vehicle.
VISUALS:
A lowering of 30mm-35mm (approximately 1.2"-1.4") from original chassis height results in an aggressive appearance without the "slammed" look of undriveable show suspensions.
This amount of lowering retains excellent clearance for driveways and speed bumps, and nicely tightens up the gap between tire and fender.
PERFORMANCE:
SACHS technology inspires motor racing professionals all over the world: leading teams competing in the German Touring Car Masters, rallies, and Formula 1 regularly take SACHS products on to the winners’ podium.
This same level of dedication to performance and testing ensures maximum suspension effectiveness.
COMFORT:
By examining a combination of spring travel and damping rate suited for the chassis, the Tuned Suspension Set maintains ride quality equivalent or better than factory "sport" models, with less "porpoising" (up and down motion) over roadway bumps and irregularities.
The "ideal zone" between soft OE suspension and excessively-lowered suspension is illustrated in the graph to the right (click to enlarge).
WHAT ELSE?
Aside from product characteristics such as lowering height, performance, comfort, and price, the production quality and tuning competence of the suspension system component's supplier are also important. Major component suppliers such as SACHS are the best choice due to their long-time collaboration with car manufacturers, especially with the tuning at the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) level and the experience and expertise in the area of motorsport racing and development
