Coilovers front suspension for BMW Question?

Caskin · 26th April 2024, 15:00

Coilover front suspension kits seem to be the up and coming thing,very compact, very adjustable.Not overly expensive

Would it be possible,do you think, to it fit theses to our Rovers as they do take the place of the majority of MacPherson struts.And as far as I can tell the fittings both upper and lower are it appears, to be the same. Certainly many BMW owners are changing over to them,and i guess it wouldn't hurt to upgrade our suspensions if at all possible?

It has been done a few times, the only thing that puts me off is the drilling of the strut top as the mounting holes are different.

Your right but as I understand it only one hole?Which can be picked up using top strut holder as pattern?

Do you have to do rear as well or can you get away with just fronts?

Any info on make or part number or where correct size for our wagons can be found. Thanks
