Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I bought it through a lad on DTD. It is clean but there are cleaner EG's out there. It's very well minded, engine pulls very clean and not a crunch in any gear at any RPM. Those coilovers are by far the best coilovers I've experienced on any car, unreal0 -

With the last pic being an E46 coupe, it seems an apt time to post a better picture of mine which I purchased last month. I had hoped to give it a good clean today for pics, but the weather told me otherwise, hence the one rain soaked image:
I have to say, I'm absolutely loving it. There is some great info out on the web about sorting stuff and I like to give something a go if I think I can. So far I have sorted some really slow retracting seatbelts, a sticky accelerator and I fixed the washer jets that were barely touching the window. I have to get a window rocker switch on eBay as one of the rear ones has had the smallest bit of plastic broken off in the button, so a very easy fix.
There is defo a service history that I am trying to track down, with the display indicating a service in 6k miles and a service sticker with a next service date, but no indicator of where from. I hope to get some info though that will point me in the right direction.
To think such driving pleasure can be obtained for such little money is amazing. She is running 100%, not a single issue, and the bodywork is pristine. Here's to many more happy miles. 0 -

Feck it anyway. Well if it handles this well with knackered springs, then it can only be better with replacements, that's the glass half full approach. What would be the cost of sorting as a matter of interest? 0 -

That 'aint to bad to rectify then, I could be heading for Drumcondra soon enough. Now to give the boss the news, but I'll put a positive spin on it and say there's a very good reason why she has been struggling to pull herself out of the car, it being so low, and there is something we can do to help rectify it.
Thanks for the head up. 0 -

Trust me, it shouldn't be sitting that low on good factory springs.
Not a big issue though, don't let it spoil the new car..
This. I had a broken rear spring on the offside rear for over a year without noticing until I was replacing some bushes at the back I noticed that a whole coil had broke off the spring! Car still sat level though!
Anyway I got a set of Eibach springs and it handles a dream now.0 -

Ya the Eibach kit seems to be the job and it makes the car look a lot better too..0 -

Your not the first to say that, but I've been checking out other models of the same era and a lot of them seem to be low at the back, but the e46 of the era is known for weak ones. It is level both sides and I would assume that if the springs were bust that it would be noticeable when driving as the ride is smooth.Nissan doctor wrote: »Thats because most e46's have broken rear springs :eek: Very few people ever notice any handling issues.

ND is right, a LOT of them do have broken or cracked at the least springs.
This is how low mine was at the rear with Eibach lowering springs fitted and two people in the back
Safe to say, yours shouldn't be as low as that!Nissan doctor wrote: »For good quality springs, between €150 - €200 fitted I think.
Eibach pro kit (which is what you should go for if looking for a decent replacement tbh) is £125 from dcperformance. Myself and Conzymaher fitted them ourselves, and tbh the rear springs are piss easy, the fronts are the only difficult ones, and that was because of our very un-safe spring clamps and my broken shock. Fitting could nearly cost you >€100 depending on where does it.
Now, I can't go and let the chain of BMW's be broken so...
My e46 coupe a while back
And how it's sitting this week after last weekends quick wash
It's also a before/after (left/right) on a quick headlight polish with SRP
