51 mm Struts

[dean-s]

I'm after a set of 51mm struts to send to AST to get dampers built for a 320 in the PBMW championship. I believe the 51mm units came on the 318iS, 325's and cab's (?)

However, someone has told me that he believes not all the 51mm units are the same - effectively that there are two types, and that one has more offset that will result in more neg camber. He seemed to think it was the 325 struts that were 'better'. He didn't think the difference was big, and that you wouldn't notice it with the eye - only by measuring.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

TIA

the only variance i know of are the m3 units the rest are pretty much the same however i believe there was a difference in wheel alignment figures between chrome bumper and plastic bumper models but i am not sure

Yes, that's what had crossed my mind.

Thanks for confirming. Just need to locate a good set now.
