    You should upgrade to the 51mm front struts off any 325e or 325i in the front

      I would recommend this, but you can get Bilstein sports in the 45mm application.

              What makes the larger shocks an upgrade? I wouldn't call adding weight an upgrade. If you're not doing an engine swap any time soon just buy the 45mm shocks BMW designed your car for.

              On the other hand, I have a set of bilstein sports and H&R sports meant for a six cylinder car on my 85 318i and they still lowered the car a little bit, but not as much as most people would be looking for. I had them laying around and the suspension was shot on my car so I gave it a go. Seems fine to me.

                I have a set of used Bilstein sports for the 45mm strut housing!

                $120 takes them, located near Tacoma. PM me for my number

                  I am going to be getting some springs from Wschnitz and possibly Bilsteins from Dirtsquirt, thanks for the help guys.
