cheers for the reply
im assuming the mtec
is shorter springs stiffer valving in shocks
and definatly fitted to 51mm struts

The m-tec suspension on my 89 320i has 51mm legs, shorter springs (40mm I think) and gas shocks,. as it left the factory (the shocks are bilsteins)

factory sport springs are only approx 15 mm lower than standard.

cheers guys one of the members on here is keenly intrested
and i want to make sure there fine for his car
so fitment wise
all 51mm struts are the same
and a new uprated shock will be a massive improvement over a ten yr old mtec or not shock eh
the kit i have is still in the box
matched springs and shocks 40/40
should be a great improvement
