I could have gone down another .25" maybe. But as it was I smacked my pan so I wasnt about to find out how much lower I could take it.Comment

I understand the housings need to cut and modified, but how?
I can't imagine that I just go to a machine shop and tell them, modify it and they would understand what I mean.
I desire a similar setup and damn yours is a helluva deal, but I definitely cannot afford to buy now, but I'd like information on how you went about setting yours up.Comment

Try some searching Red.........
you dont need to cut housings........it only helps to maintin susp . travel and if u want to go real low. GC offers shortened shocks.....if you dont cut then just drop the GC spacer in the housing. A low car w/o cut housings = bottoming shock out over bad hits.I love sitting down and just driving!Comment

If you shorten the strut housings you need shorter shocks. Stock length shocks and stock length strut housings work perfectly well and will still get you pretty low. These spring rates should also be a pretty good match for the Bilsteins.'89 325is S50 Track Montser

I sent my housings to GC and had them modify them for me. I took my specs around to a few shops, all were slightly confused and cost more than it would to ship it up there and get the modificaitions done by people who have done it various times.Comment

so you are either saying those Bilsteins are not for an e30.... or you are not making sense.
if you cut the housing the struts must be shorter than stock.
I dont have any side views unfortunately the car was destroyed by an inconsiderate driver. The housings were cut and shortened by ground control. I do not have the housings and these do not come with housings, you will have to get yours cut and modified. And no camber plates though with camber plates you can effectively gain about another half inch or so of travel while keeping the front down.Comment

Yes.. they are shorter than stock struts.. These are Bilstein Sports.
If i hadnt cut the housings, I could have put a spacer under the strut inside the housing.Comment
