FYI, the US 2 & 4-door M3 springs are the same as the Euro 4-door springs.
Only the Euro M3 coupe gets the aggressive springs, which are what came on the
95 M3 LTW. They're very expensive thru the dealer, even wholesale. You'd be
better to call H&R, etc. Seems like I was told they're ~ 20 - 25% stiffer,
which is probably stiffer than the std Eibach.
