1980 633 Lowering

Hey I just picked up my first 6 series, its an '80 633CSI, im looking for lowering sport springs to couple with a nice shock but EVERYTHING im seeing online if for 1984 and up. will those kits work on a 1980 even though it doesnt have the auto adjust?

I have some billstiens with cut springs for the rear and just cut springs for the front, in the extra parts bin, off of an 83 if your interested hit me up at ltodd007@hotmail.com

The 83 suspension is totally different than that of an 80. Those springs and shocks will not fit. Finding proper lowering springs for an E12 chassis car is difficult. It took me 6 months to find mine.

ok so where did you find yours? ^^^^^^

The springs from manufacturers for an early car are hard to find as they only make them periodically. i got mine from B&G in Calif who just happened to have a pair in the warehouse. Korman has them of their own design but will only give a 1" drop. The guys on Ebay who say they have them most usually don't and are waiting for the manufacturing cycle so be careful there. It is a matter of looking until you hit. H&R springs are available out of Europe but about $400 a pair shipped. Get on german ebay there is always alot of stuff there, but shipping can be a killer. Bilsteins are still available easily for n E12 car and I also have a set of rare new in the box Konis, which is what i run on my car. If you go bils you need to buy sport shocks and not heavy duty guys.

Thanks Bert! I was thinking I'm gonna have to go H/R yet I'd been searching for fitment on my 81 633. I hate waiting for shipping especially overseas. last thing....is B/G a company or brand? thanks in advance sir...

B&G is a manufacturer with their warehouse is in the San Diego area. Call them, but I think they are out, but don't listn to what someone says until you hear from the horses mouth,.Brian, probably the guy you will talk with, may be able to direct you to a dealer that has some or tell you when they are expected in.

Thank you kind sir ill give them a buzz tomorrow..
