What kinda struts have you guys used when installing ground control or other brand coil over kits? I just got a deal on a set of New billy sports for an early E36 (with the swaybar tabs) and was expecting to be able to mount up these coil overs I had gotten off of some stock struts. well the billy strut has a larger diameter tube at the top that tapers down. I dont see how the threaded sleeve can be installed on this strut.

just to reinforce it...e36 struts are taller than e30, don't forget to address that during your swap.Leave a comment:

ok thanks if i was going to do a 5 lug it would be all e36 just becuase of the availablity and cost. i was looking at racelands coilovers and they are 244 for the e36 and i have heard very good things for the vw croud. so id think theyd have the same quality for the bmer cars, no?Leave a comment:

Not if you did an e30 five lug swap(ie e30m3)...you would have to convert over to e36 spindles too. additionally the are a little taller than e30 struts, but not so much that it can't be accounted for.Leave a comment:

Quick answer NO...the e36 strut attachs to the spindle by means of two bolted flanges. were as the strut and spindle on the e30 are one piece.Leave a comment:
