New Coilover GB

[E30Driv3R]

So, I'm curious. I thought that there was a difference between the early and late model strut bodies (like an outer diameter or something) IIRC, the Koni's only come in the big size (later strut), so I'm wondering if I need to get updated struts in order for this kit to fit?
'86 325es.

IIRC it was only the 84-85 that had the smaller bodies struts.

the M3 Swaybar links, and the perch that the adjustible sleve sits on.

IIRC it was only the 84-85 that had the smaller bodies struts.

To my knowledge the small struts were only on the 84-85 318's. All the 325's had the bigger strut housings.

If you look in the "Product Reviews" subforum, you will find my review of my setup. My last post in that thread is my evaluation about how it handled at the track.

*EDIT* Here is the link to my review:

New list:

1. Adrian (local)
2. Ron (local)
3. crunk3
4. ldsbeaker
5. Fanzotti possibly (just the Koni's, waiting on PM reply)
6. vlad_rpm
7. e30dvr
8.
9.
10.

Just need 3 more people folks and we are going to start rolling to production. If you know of anyone else that may be interested, please refer them :)

Once we get our 10 people, the process will be as follows (just so we are completely clear):
1. Once we reach 10 people (or more if there's enough interest) I will close the GB.
2. Payment will be requested from everyone. This will probably take about a week for everyone to pay. If you are going to put your name on the list, PLEASE be sure you have the funds available FIRST. Payment is the single biggest hitch to getting these GBs completed in a timely manner. As I stated in the last GB, I WILL NOT order the parts until ALL GB participants have paid. I almost had to eat about 3k worth of parts on the last order. I won't do it again.
3. Once I've received the last payment, I will place the orders for all of the kit parts same day (provided it's before everyone closes for the day. If after hours, orders will be placed the following day. I have already alerted all of my suppliers and they are all prepping for the orders. Especially Vorshlag due to lead time in producing their camber plates. Thus far, everything is in stock for at least 10 kits with all concerned suppliers. I currently have enough weld-on hardware in stock for 15 kits.
4. Once the supplies are received, final modifications will be made, then boxed for shipment.
5. Packages will be shipped via FedEx and will take anywhere from 3-6 business days to arrive to you.
