WTB: GC springs

[Rittmeister]

Looking for a pair of 2.5" inside diameter, 6" length, 300 lbs/inch ERS springs. Please PM if you have a set you'll sell me...

FYI GC's part number is: GC150.64.53

FYI that's the metric part number..
The regular number would be: EIB0600.250.0300 or something like that.
(free length . diameter . rate )

oh.. and... http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1240163

I know it's the metric number; right now it's the only number GC lists on their site for the length/diameter/rate I'm seeking, so I threw it up here too. The lowest spring rate GC lists for a 6" spring, in their normal numbering system, is 450 lbs/in.

Many thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

I've found better spring selections listed on other websites for the Eibach stuff... start looking at dirt track racers and whatnot and you'll see some others.

That said... is this for the 240? 6" spring is REALLY short. I'd be worried about coil-binding with one that soft and that short...

Well, it's for the rear, and I spoke to both Richard and Monty neither of whom seemed to think it'd be a problem. In fact, Monty made reference to not having a problem in the rear of the car until you were down to a 5-inch spring.

I've got a pair of 7" 250# 2.5" springs. Close enough? :)

[Rittmeister]

Nope. The length is the factor here.

I've located a set, but thanks for the offer.
