Need a measurement from someone that has e30 m3 strut housings!

[markhchambers]

I can't find anything when I search. I have the m3 swaybar tabs to weld to my front strut housings, but can't find the measurement on where to weld them. If someone could get me a measurement from where the strut housing meets the cast iron spindle up to the middle of the hole where the end link bolts to the strut housing I would forever be grateful!

Here's a previous thread on the subject, with a link to a thread on the other forum:

Good luck!

Thanks! I haven't seen that one pic of the measurement from the bottom, but that looks like an e36 strut housing???

this one? It's an E30 M3 strut

Does this help? It looks to be 10 5/16" to me. I can get some better measurements this weekend, if you need it.

They're all e30 housings; you should be good to go with those measurements. If you're using adjustable links I don't think the placement is too critical with regards to "height".

[markhchambers]

Cool, I got the adjustable links from ground control. I know they modify the housings to use them, so they have to know what the placement. I've spent a bunch of $ with them, but when I called them asking where they go, they told me they didn't know. Thanks for the help though!

I thought I'd explain that the reason nobody at GC knows the measurements is because we actually don't assemble the struts with a measuring tape.

The struts are assembled in jigs, in order to be the most consistent.

The jigs are faster, and remove any chance of a mismeasurement.
