How can I get low on 45mm struts? 318i coilovers?!

Really want to get my e30 low but can't stretch to getting an expensive set of coilovers.

Any other suggestion? Looked at the cheaper kits but can only find ones for 51mm struts?!

M40 316 hydraulic tappets the same as M40 318 ones?

Hiya guys!
After some help here. Got an 89 318i that is really tappety! Also have a 91 316i and wondered whether I could use the tappets out of that one as its no longer on the road anymore? If not are they still available and how much are they new?

Any help appreciated, thanks!
