      Yeah, ive checked that, thanks for the effort.
      But AFAIK the 323i has bigger struts then the american 320i.

          Also, the GC kit should fit your 323i. There are folks out here that have done it. Tell them you have a 323i and they'll get you the right stuff. Welding is required as I recall. Especially if you want to get anything resembling stance.

              Price list used to have it on there. It's close to 4k. You'll have to contact them.

                just make your own. find some alloy or steel threaded sleeves (Koni, ground control, etc)with the right id (50mm/2" if its the same as my 323i) and slot them on your struts with the spring platform, locking collar, and top spring perch, then run some aftermarket 2.5" id race springs (such as Eibach). for massive stance (ie. loooowww) you can put E30 shocks in the front and cut down the shock bodies so that you still have decent travel.
                for the rear, get some coilover units (something like a Koni 2812 or any QA1 unit. theres lots of brands to chose from) to the right size (measure the extended length required on your car) and make some top brackets that bolt to the chassis (rather than the standard style top mounts with the three bolts). then just drill out the bottom mount to whatever size the bearing is on the coilover unit (normally half inch) and bolt it up with some spacers to stop it moving around.
                and walla, you're stanced!

                ps. if you're not in a rush, ill be doing all this to my car over the next month so will have pics and details when im done.

                  i know the tunershop has KW's for the E30. maybe they can get a set for an E21?? i believe they are brittish or something. anyhow, i bet KW makes them for the cars over there.

                      If you don't plan on making them yourself, you could also get them from GAZ, I got them through raceperformancemodified.com
                      They go really really low, with my current wheels I could put the car on the ground if I wanted to.
                      Price will be under $1k total I think...

                          Raceperformancemodified.com, talk to Jimmy or Jenny.
                          For pics of mine, see one of the threads I created.
                          I'm not by far all the way down though.
