Hello,

I am looking for a set of original non competition package springs from a f80/82 with a manual transmission. Found several from a dct but noting from a manual. The front springs will be labeled "MA".

Pm me if you have some you want to part with.

Thank you!

Still looking? CF roof or sunroof? I believe that's the second qualifier.

I have a set of base springs for manual transmission and CF roof.

I don't remember where I read it on here, but it was my understanding that the 2 factors that determine which springs are meant for the car are the transmission and roof type due to the weight differences of each. At least for the base model. I have no idea if the comp package springs also have this variance.
