just get both entire strut assemblies.
Seriously... there is no sense fucking around with anything else. Swap that shit in (put your springs on tho, so you arent any more of a 4x4 then you already are)
While you're at it, why not swap the whole rear in also? get some disc's back there.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

All you need is the calipers (and rotors to match).
Swapping to the bigger (51mm) housings isn't a bad idea though - better shock selection.

I know a friend that has a COMPLETE 87 325iS suspension. Everything.
I know he would let it go for a reasonable price.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

Man, you can get 325 suspension for next to nothing these days. In fact, probably makes more sense to just get a 325i. I had a parts car last year that you could have taken the suspension from. I just left it on to roll the car around. I have since sold the car to Mspeigle, so I have no idea what happened to the suspension."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
