slight cautionary tale here..I bought these springs and when they arrived I cross referenced the codes on the springs to see what the drop would be exactly..every single website said they would not fit an e89 23i.
After contacting the seller he was insistent they did and they came off his car which I'm sure they did, my thoughts though is they may well fit but are the optimum for the car..why sell a different kit for the e89 with completely different codes, they seem to have a much heavier max load load weight of 970/1100 fr/rear compared to 800/975 for the e89 kit .
I paid by paypal so I told him i was sending them back but I would cover the postage , he insisted they were fine but over a dozen sites said they wouldn't fit, I agreed that yes they were obviously fitted to your car but shoehorning something in doesn't make it the right part
Anyroad I returned them and he stitched me up on the refund, deducting the paypal fees that you should get on refund and the initial postage to the tune of 16 quid.
Not much but as i paid the return post thats £28 quid in all ..I'm not particularly arsed about the money it's fairly small change but y'know its the principle really of forum etiquette. I'm sure the seller will come on and blah blah blah how they fit fine and they were ok on his car (even though he couldn't wait to remove them) but I wasn't comfortable fitting a part that wasn't listed as right for my car.. I won't get into a slanging match on here if he comes on but just wanted to say this as a word of warning about buying from unknown members
