hey all i bought coilovers for my e30 320 and the insert shocks for the front are to big and dont fit my hubs / struts. when i bought the coilovers i got told they were for the 51mm inserts and that 320s had 51mm inserts. Is this wrong? If so would the best option be to buy 325 hubs / shocks??

Thanks Alan

unless its a touring they will be 45mm struts on a 320

323i , 325i and tourings have 51mm, which will be what you need to fit the shocks into
