Spring seats 3mm vs 9mm

[glocati]

Running a Sachs Sport kit on my '95 525. Love it, but wish the car sat a bit lower. Searched threads but found little info on different thickness spring seats. I am assumming the stock ones are 9mm and the 3mm ones will lower the car an additional 6mm? Is this the case and if so please indicate where i can purchase. Thanks.

correct. you can purchase at your local bmw stealership or at www.bmaautoparts.com (call them). The part numbers are floating around somewhere.

Great resource yes. But I have given up on the Sachs kit. Tried to pick one up in Oct. Not available till nov, Then not till Jan . now maybe mid march. So I went with eibach/konis. Should have it all by the end of the week.
