    Default new springs???

    hi,
    i want to replace my 1995 540i/a springs with a stiffer spring without changing the heigth. i do not want to have to install camber adjustments & i am happy with the heigth. i also depend on it for the winter. do heavy duty springs exist? if so, where can i get them? i have heavy duty shocks available to me.
    thanks
    tim s.

    Default if you mean

    the rear is lower than the front, thats normal. even with lowering springs the rear is still lower than the fronts.
