    Who sells Coilovers for the 85' 318i?

    I've been looking around for a coilover package for my 1985 318i and can't seem to find anything but GC.

    The problem seems to be the early E30s (318i and some 325e's) have a 45mm strut housing while the other E30's have a 51mm?

    I've found plenty of systems designated for the 325 but no one seems to specifically specify a setup for the 45mm strut and all the companies I've contacted so far are all really unsure of there compatibility with my vehicle.

    So the question goes out to all you really old E30 (old cars not personal age) owners that have coilovers "Who/what did you use?"

    TIA,

    you need to convert to the later strut. Good idea to get the better brake anyway.

      I already have the same brakes as a 325 (converted along time ago), but I still have a 45mm housing and swaping the entire housing is not an option at this point that's why I'm asking.

      Thanks though,
