    My custom Coil Over / Koni e30/36 setup

    I bought this Coil Over setup made for the e36 suspension and amde it fot long time ago. when i installed the 5 lug swapp suspension from the 318ti I ran into a problem, needed a new front shock.

    I had my almost new front cartdige Koni shocks for the e30 laying arround so I had to buy a new pair for the front since e36 shock housing are separated from the strut/wheel hub. Koni adjustables for e36 threadded was going to cost me at least $600 here in my country bought from the states.

    The I tought I could do something with the stock e36 shocks ( that were blown by the way) and this is what I came across.
    Cutted the top part, threaded it and fitted the damn shock inside.
    This job costed me about $20 of labor, pretty ncie save against spending $600 lol

    By the way I copied and welded some link sway bar perches in the body an dnow I will run the larger links :D













    What do you think :o

      Hope they don't "HIT" every once I pass through some holes or concrete unites like the odler setup.

        why are you still using the stock spring hat on top of the coilover hat?

          what spring hat you mean? The front shock ? if so, I had to cut it? I didn't have a clue how to do it with out the spring hat, I just fitted the aluminum hat that comes with the coil over setup int here with some modded nuts to hold it in there so the spring seat there.
