      x2 on that^

      however i believe the front struts are airlift item 75564

      not sure what rears he is using but 50252 looks really similar.

      also, i think they come with elbows for 1/2 inch lines? so you gotta get elbows for whatever size line you are using.

          Question are you still running a front swaybar? Any modifications to the links?

            Actually, if you use the 75564 it's too long.

            The rear bags are UAS AH2's in the 3/8" port size.

              So which is the correct part number for us to use on e30's?

              Rali at bagriders suggested this strut.

                Go with the rolling sleeve. I've found that its a better ride. Also a skinner bag which leaves plenty of room for wheel fitment. The double bellow like you posted is to wide. E30s don't have that much room to play with.

                          The double bellow will not fit in the E30, we've taken measurements and we've found the 75563 to work the best :)

                            75564 is shorter then 75563..... but has less stroke. 75564 works.

                              What are you guys doing about the front swaybar? Running shorter links?

                                How will the double bellow not fit? When the double bellow is aired out, it decompresses itself into a sandwich making it smaller than a rolling sleeve. When a rolling sleeve collapses, it takes a lot of expansion which may cause the bag to rub against the wheel when decompressing.
