FOUND springs

If you can't find anyone on here parting any out. Get a hold of La Jolla Independent in CA. They have a nice set of lowering springs for the e3 and you shouldn't need to roll the fenders on the e3 but still check with them if your wheels/tires/offset will fit ok. They have some in stock.

Fenders on the e3 are different than the e9 clearance, meaning more clearance on e3. But double check all that before install. Price/shipping is reasonable. Good people over there. I had 14" Cromodora's with the lowering springs and never had any issues.

Similar to these if not the exact same. This is a good price even with shipping for a set from Japan:


These even have the cool inserts/cap, period correct for an e3. Also, easy to clean :love:. But again, if interested in the wheels, make sure these will fit the e3, not 100% sure they are the same but I think they are. I am no expert at wheel/tire fitment I assure you, as I have been finding out the hard way lately. Good luck!

Hi, I'm pretty sure that I have a set used set, I'm parting a 1974 3.0s. I have sold the right strut, I just have to find the spring, pretty sure I saved it. I will be with the car at the end of the week 5/4 and will let you know then. The car is in Grass Valley CA. Ed

Contact me if @BinksE9 can't help. I have the springs (no spacers) in SC, off a '73 Bavaria I parted.
 
Hi,
I do have both springs and spacers.

Thanks to all who replied and for all the information shared. I found the springs thanks to a well known member and now have my work cut out for me installing the springs.
Thanks again
