Front Suspension •

So I am looking to increase the strut/shock travel to 7". There is complete kits from samsonas that run ohlins internals or Reiger, but cost as much as I have in this car. I want at least a 40mm front strut so that eliminates most everything cheep. Not that they would have the travel I need anyway.

So the only real option is to build from parts and adapt from other makes.

Front Struts:
As most know rally is huge in Europe. That's where all the quality cheep parts come from. I ordered 7" 40mm adjustable group4 inserts and strut tubes from the motorsports tools from the UK.
Nice this is the strut tube bottoms are 52mm same as 128i knuckles. We will see how close they really are when they arrive. 2.25 coilovers
12" springs hoping they don't bind. Might have to have a helper in there as rally cars run a lot of droop.

Top hats/camber plates I'm still looking. Like GC but also the Vorahlag. Need something with radial bearings and as thin as possible. Am I missing anything else made like that?
