ST Suspension Sport-tech Lowering Springs for BMW E36 Convertible — Overview
These are progressive-rate lowering springs from ST Suspension, designed specifically for the E36 convertible body style. The convertible matters here because it runs different spring rates than the coupe or sedan - heavier chassis, different weight distribution - and ST accounts for that with a dedicated part number rather than a one-size-fits-all kit. Drop is modest, which suits the convertible well given its higher center of gravity and the extra chassis flex you get without a fixed roof.
If you want a straightforward spring swap without touching your struts or shocks, these work with your factory dampers, though worn shocks will feel worse on shorter springs so replace them if they have miles on them. Pick these over coilovers if you want a set-it-and-forget-it setup that still tightens up the handling and drops the ride height without spending a weekend dialing in camber. Not the choice if you want serious adjustment capability or track use - for that, save up for a coilover kit.
