        I love that you used Com Truise in this. It's a very pleasant car to look at!

          NegativeCamber Would you be interesting in building a kit for me? Using your exact setup? I know nothing about air suspension and your e23 has the exact setup I want for my e23 L7! I'd of course pay for your time and the parts you'd need!

            Hey Negative Camber, would an air ride kit for a e39 work on an e28? If not, why is that? I have no fab experience, so I can't put your genius to use.

                  The e28 has the strut housing attached to the spindle. It cant be separated. On the e90 you can separate the strut from the steering knuckle.

                    I PM'd Eric at bimmerforums, but anyone reason why BC dampers wouldn't work?

                    These are 44mm.


                    These are e28 dampers that use a 51mm damper. BUT, I called BC and they said their e30 system uses a 45mm damper. If I shaved the threads down to 44mm, any reason why it wouldn't work since it's already shorter and made for a higher spring rate?

                    • Now I see what you mean. There are two options: obtain the lower threaded sleeve, then all you would need to do is cut the strut housing and weld the sleeve to the spindle. As you mentione, the other option would be to shave the threads and toss them inside the strut housing. Then you would use your external coilover sleeve to adjust the height. The only question I would have with that configuration is if the stock gland nut would be able to hold down the shock.
                      Also, keep in mind the shock shaft diameter. Not sure if your strut top would fit.

                      • Bookmarked. I think you've already answered all suspension related questions I could have about my e23.
