DIY?

Once upon a time, a young Alex Wong installed the springs on his car. When he brought it in for an alignment, he asked me to check a noise and make sure all the bolts are tightened. hahahahah

I give him props for trying.

They are all visually identical and are interchangeable.

According to H&R the differences are in the spring rates, although the differences are extremely minute.

We installed at least three E90 springs on E92s with absolutely no repercussions.
