[matt0300]

early 318i's had 45mm 318is had 51mm

Megans have changed a lot over time. These look to me to be exactly part-for-part like BC Racing coils. Just a thought from the pics.

And that's not a bad thing at all.

Please post a price, forum rules

[fatphos]

I read the forum rules, it didn't specify that I can't use a MSRP price for the thread. On the side note, I'll edit it for the sake of cutting down the PM's.

Simply just measure the diameter of your strut casing to find out what you have. This will determine if it's 45mm or 51mm that you need. Another general rule of thumb is 4 Cylinder E30= 45mm, 6 Cylinder E30= 51mm. However measuring it is the best way to go!

Yep welding is needed. It's simple and any local shop with a 'good' welder maybe able to do it. Check out the link above for Chris's installation photos and write up to see how to install and what's needed.

Still have them!

No. Cars 85 and earlier were 45mm. ABS cars had 51. this applies for early 325's too.

Thanks for clarifying! Bump for Bimmer Fest!

Pre 85 e30s = 45mm housings

Post 85 e30s = 51mm housings

Here's a quick shot of how LOW the Megan coilovers could go. White E30 is Megan C/O equipped.

Measure Measure Measure, 92 325i Vert here, 45mm housings against all odds. I don't know if its because she's one of the last e30s made or if the PO was a DB, I've run into so many oddities, diff, guibo, etc etc. Point is don't order anything until if you've laid hands and eyes on the original in/on your car.

somebody swapped 45's on your car, a '92 definitely didn't come from the factory that way.
