e21 vs e30 suspension

Post by jamiew »

Hi guys, is their allot of difference between e21 and e30 suspension?

my friend has a rusty e21 and isnt worth restoring to make it look mint, so just wanted to slam it and go that route.

However there is no pre-made air bag kits for e21, but is for the e30.

Thankyou

Well they both use strut tubes. the e21 had two different diameters and I'm sure the e30 did too
