Msport rear Spring alternatives

I'm sure this has been done to death but want you guys opinions.
I have a 03 plate e85 with 19 inch m3 alloys, which I have recently found out came specced with msport suspension as a factory option.

I recently replaced the rear springs with some I got used from a breaker via eBay ( one of the rears was snapped). I the springs I got were for a standard non-m suspension as I didn't realise I had msport suspension at the time. As a result my car now looks a bit like it has been kicked up the arse I.e. The stance looks all wrong - too high at the rear and camber is off.

My question is what is the best economical replacement for these incorrect springs that will restore the correct ride height - Oem springs from the dealers are astronomical, there must be a better upgrade that won't cost the earth ?

As always your input is appreciated

And as a side note does anyone need a set of non-sport rear springs :) free once I've got the replacements you just pay postage and a small donation to the forum.
 
been wondering this myself, would prefer aftermarket springs but really don't want to lower the car any more
 
Though having just had a look you're talking about £140 now. Still cheaper than most in the UK I would think though.
 
have you looked into the "Suplex" rear springs? when I looked into replacing my springs on mine I found Suplex were direct OEM replacement, Eibach were -20mm and H&R -30mm ....... worth looking into :thumbsup:
 
also make sure you check the engine size compatibility as most springs are different for the 4/6 cylinder engines (due to weight of engine and associated parts)
 
Some rears are different for E85/E86 - Eibach are. Always check your parts for compatibility. And when they arrive that the box matches the bits. Ask me how I know...

Haha ask me how I know there's so many different options for the 2.0 (I have a total of 13 bloody springs kicking about in boxes around my house doh!!!)
 
I bought suplex just before xmas (October) and the drivers side has snapped having to buy a new one to send old one off not happy also I kinda got wrong ones sent out first but I knew the product code and realised they sent me the wrong ones (not my fault) not sure what to make of this carry on I just want it replaced for now... Then maybe replace wth oem parts.

The OE springs are no better :?

Sorry to hear of your woes though - I've never heard of any Eibach springs snapping so could be an option for you.
