WTB - Original ride height coil springs for e28 535is

Post by MyManStanley »

Previous Owner put on lowering springs, and as I am old, I want to take it back to factory ride height.  I would like to acquire some original ride height springs (front and rear, full set.).  My e28 is a 1987 535is, but perhaps the 535i springs would work too?

I am about to do a full refresh of the control arms, blah, blah, blah, and so now is the perfect time to explore this.

My hope is that someone out there has a full factory original, albeit used, factory ride height set sitting in some dark recessed corner of their garage, out of sight of their significant other.  That elusive spring set would have been at some point in the last decade taken off and replaced with the then fancy lowering, all-the-rage performance springs giving mind shattering cornering and stability.

Anyone have any leads on where that set might be, for which I am looking? 

Perhaps you, whomever you are, would be willing to let them go for the mere price of shipping and a hearty thanks?

I literally threw these in the alley yesterday, and yes, they are now gone.

If I can find them, I have a set that were originally imported on a car that was sold at Tom Bush BMW.  Removed in the late 80s.

Blue Shadow - that would be amazing if you find those.  I live in Jacksonville, FL which as you probably are aware is where Tom Bush is/was.

I would be incredibly grateful if you found them!
