you could do that and it would work just fine but you'll need race springs since yours is sport as is.. 40mm= 4cm= 1.5inches if im not wrong so that's what your looking at, but it'll be better if you get new shock/struts also.. or u can get coilovers there are alot out there... but if money is an issue rokkor coilovers are like 360$ shipped

Im not to sure about coilovers as the roads here in scotland are a disgrace and speed humps everywhere! i was looking at getting a set of these but again might be to stiff for the roads here! are the bilstien shocks same to look at as OEM shocks if that makes sense?

you can try getting those coilovers but they say it fits E36 model... they say compact but how are you for sure its Ti rear specific.. but yeah doesnt really make sense but im guessing your asking if they look just like OEM and yeah they do install goes just the same way also... only difference is the color and mayb thickness of the strut
