    Just wondering what the best choice I have is with the 45mm strut housing. Thanks!

      Why not change to 51mm?

          I guess I could, I'm new to the bmws. So I don't know much about them, what could I swap a 51mm off?

              Any E30 86 and up. Well anything other than a 318 really, but anything pre-86 is a little dodgy.
              1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

                  go 51mm and get bc racing i love them, if you dont wanna go 51mm you can still get them for 45mm.

                      Keep in mind that some of the 51mm dont have ABS holes for the ABS sensor... pre-86 perhaps? I dont know the exact year.
