    Question about struts :E30

    What effect would putting Koni struts/shocks made for a lowered E30 on a non
    lowered E30?

    thanks

    Nope..the springs determine the ride height.

    [Apparently, Google 'ate' my previous reply to this thread.]

    That's correct. The only risk I can see is if the Konis are
    *physically* shorter (when fully extended) than the stock parts. For
    example, Bilstein's 'Sport' shocks *are* shorter for use with shorter
    springs. In that case, they could be overextended by the stock
    suspension travel and damaged thereby. Otherwise, I'd expect somewhat
    different damping and no other problems.
