E86 Sachs rear coil springs

[j3nks79]

I have a pair of rear Sachs coil springs off my E86 sport.
Around a year old and done about 4K. Good condition see pics.
£50 for the pair including delivery.

Just checking.....Realoem is less than helpful on this occasion.
Are these the same across all models?
Specifically would they fit a 3.0i Roadster?
If so I'm interested.

Tbh I wouldn’t know. Maybe cross reference the ECP product code against a search on your registration and see if matches?

Just did that and it does look the same.

Weirdly, if I put your number in to ECP then look at all the models it fits then it does say 3.0i.
However, if I put the reg in then it says I need 627113460??

Now I'm more confused?

Yeah I’d guess it’s to do with weight of the car and spring rates etc.

Well unless I can get a definitive answer I’ll have to pass I’m afraid. I’ll keep checking

On the Basis that Eibach quote different part numbers for the E85/E86 springs I’d imagine the spring rates are different. Will they fit, almost definitely, are the spring rates different… probably.

Thanks. I'll leave it.

It's a minefield, when I had mine done recently for the MOT they found the car had 2 sizes for the sachs rear springs for a 2.2. Luckily the mechanic chose the correct ones. Whew!
