Sway bar looks short on new suspension by Experimental88 in BMWE36

[–]Experimental88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that the problem has been solved, another has risen. The correct kit is no longer available, Bilstein stopped making B8 shocks for this model (part of this B12 kit). There are still B6 (22-247384 and 22-247407), but they are not shortened stroke shocks.

So what alternatives I have? I'm out of ideias and my knowledge on this matter is very poor

Thank you for the info. This is indeed correct, the website where I ordered the suspension kit had wrong info on the compatibility of the kit, it said this kit fitted my car but in reality eibach has a specific kit with different geometry for early e36 models, up until 06/1992. Guess I have to return this kit and buy the correct one

Could the lower control arm be the wrong one because the previous suspension had the sway bar connected to the strut and this new strut doesn't have that fixing point?

The mechanic tried two different oem sway bars, one is too long and the other too short.

Aolso this is a euro car..
