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.
