ok so for my e21 project the mcpherson struts at the rear are being changed for a seperate spring/shock setup

i dont fancy butchering the rear shocks so was wondering if anyone would know of any that would fit the same?

random question i know :/

Yup, plain E21 of E30. Several makes of E21 shocks have separate bottom rings (like Bilstein) for the spring so its easy to just use the shock as well.
