information
stay with me please, im learning, and on a cheap budget, not easy to start from scratch with no knowledge if i dont know what to look for, and please try to avoid suggesting a "better" route, just want to know if it works
i want to get pretty low with these cosmo coilover sleeves and i would prefer to ask questions instead of experiment and get screwed
im planning on shortening the strut housing, i have a 325e its an 85, stock stuff as far as i know
so im going to cut the spring perch off, cut 2 inches of the strut housing, weld on a new perch for the adjustable sleeves, and maybe make a spacer if needed
questions
1. do i have 45mm housings or 51mm housings?
2. which shocks could i use for the fronts?
is going to work as far as i know?
3. then i need to get new bearings and push them into the strut mount
6302-2RSJ fit perfectly
corrrect?
4. for the rear i would shorten just the same
can I use camaro gas-a-just and use a spacer to fit the bolt?
5. im using STRUT INSERTS from a 91 mr2 for the front, and SHOCKS from a camaro(what year or years?) correct? i dont really know the difference
6. if i wanted to run more camber, say in the rear, could i use http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80410 those to get more negative camber or would those only work for correction? what about in the front, what is a cheap way to get more camber, if any?
let me know if im missing anything else i would need to do. any problems i could possibly run into
thanks a ton
