So did you use mk2 rear coilovers on the back?
Any modification needed?

Yes, I used mk2 coils in the back. They were shortened by 110mm- piston rod along with the housing cylinder, to avoid change in the shock travel. (check pictures in my top post)
I also had to grind off few mm of the inner tube in lower mount (not sure how it's called) in order to fit it into trailing arm fixing point.

Great work, love euro e21s with the 2 big headlights up front. Really enhances the timeless shark nose.

Amazing E21 !

Gold BBS RS on a white car is gorgeous

FYI, Golf MK2 Rallye (or Syncro) coilovers don't require modifications to be installed in the rear of an E21, that's what I was running when I was on coils

Did you use 6cyl strut housings in the front? Because I am interested in the 5 lugs and 280mm brakes conversion using E23 parts

[adatas]

Yes, I used struts from 323i at the front.
