    Need Help Identifying these Shocks

    Got these off a parts car and want to know if this
    set up looks functional? Seems to me the springs are a bit short. Came off an 87 es and
    going on an 87 is.

    Ground control coil overs and probably Bilstein shocks.
    "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

    85 323i M TECH 1 S52 - ALPINEWEISS/SCHWARZE
    88 M3 - LACHSSILBER/SCHWARZE
    89 M3 - ALPINEWEISS II/M TECH CLOTH-ALCANTARA
    91 M TECHNIC CABRIO TURBO - MACAOBLAU/M TECH CLOTH-LEATHER

      What he said.
      Looks like a 6" spring, so plenty long.
      The shock is just really long because it's hard to find a shock that fits the e30 housing that doesn't have a ton of excess travel.
      You'd have to pull the strut insert to see the part number to know what it is, but that is a bilstein boot.

        I appreciate the responses. Going to clean them up, replace the Guide supports and wheel bearings, and give it a go.
