    E30 Shocks?

    I was at a Junkyard in Orlando this past weekend and came accross some rear Bilstein shocks. One rebounds, the other doesn't but I got them for really cheap. The problem I'm having now is identifying them. I've done many many searches and between searches on R3V and though Google I'm still stumped as to what these are or are comparable to.

    My goal is to lower my car 2" all the way around and use some Bilstein Sports, I believe they are the (B36-2027) shocks for the rear. The shocks have now on the rear of the car are Black Bilstein "BNE 1981" which I've found out to be OE replacements.

    My question is the shock I got at the junkyard...what are they? The have a couple of numbers, 1st is 33.52-1127 491.2 and the 2nd is 6426604w11. I'm assuming the 1st number is a BMW Part number, the 2nd I have no clue. Any idea of what these shocks are and if they are comparable to either the Bilstein HDs or Sports or even the black OE Bilstein I have on car now?

    Thanks for any insight.



    I found them on this beast...lol 87 E30 body on Ford bronco frame on 35s

          I have no clue how I did not see that thread after searching on here and Google. So basically these shocks are longer and will not work if I plan on dropping the car 2"?

          Can anyone who has some Billy Sports lay it out like I have mine layed out with a measuring tape next to it so I can see the difference?

          Thanks
