    WTB: looking for bad rear shocks(to make coilovers for the e31)

    Hello

    can somebody sell me some bad rear shocks of the bmw e31(non edc version)
    I have contact with GAZ coilovers and they want to make a set for the e31.
    I have front struts to send in.but no rear shocks.

    the front will be changed to fit the coilover,the rear will be replaced with complete other.

    can somebody help me with this.

    best regards

    ruben

    The simplest solution would be to used a threaded collar seat for the spring vice reconfiguring to a full rear coilover setup. Basically like most other BMW street coilover setups.

    For example here is the KW Clubsport kit on my E92 M3. The rear uses coilover springs with a variable height mount to raise and lower the car. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if other BMW variable height rear collars fit the E31. The front is the tricky part.

    Below is a simple Ground Control rear spring adjuster with, what looks like, ERS springs.
