325ix front shocks - options

[geoffrie]

Hey, new to the group here...

I have a 90 325ix with some messed up front shocks.

acording to parts lists i have two options Bilstein HD's or boge, which list as an additional $30 or so from normal e30 shocks...

I'd like a set of koni adjustables, but can't find them for the ix. Would the ones for the 325i fit? if not whats the difference?

Thanks,
Jeff

oh cool, I never thought of tirerack for anything but tires.

The only thing is the is konis are an order part and the ETA is 8-10wks... One of my shocks is REALLY bad, were talking not compressing at all bad, so the car is undrivable until I replace them. (bought it this way)

Whats the difference with the ix shocks? If its just a longer body I could make a spacer and install the 325i shocks.
