[QUOTE="seech, post: 7660, member: 4572"] Need some advise. When I fill up the petrol tank to the max my car seems to sink lower at the rear. (Full tank can pump ard 80 liters so I imagine that's a lot of weight) Looks like a boat with the back of the car lower than the front. Is this normal or are my springs kaput? I was told ori BMW springs are hot rolled and tend to lose their strength over time whereas aftermarket springs like Eibach are cold rolled so last forever.Should I replace with a pair of used springs or get some aftermarket springs? I want to maintain original ride height so don't want any lowering springs. Do they sell aftermarket springs which don't lower ride height?If not I'll have to pump just half tank so not so heavy..... :) [/QUOTE]
