PN: B36-2027-HO 24-020275 I feel like these should work and will hold up the bilstein lowering springs I have. They only cause for concern is that the springs are from a 318i sedan. I know they will be stiffer then springs specifically for the ti but the springs do physically bolt up. The problem is that e36 sedan shocks do not work properly with the compact rear because they are too long and will limit travel. Now, I believe since these shocks are from the E30 rear all will work. just though I would let anyone who was interested know. Thanks to cooljess for the insight in another thread. __________________ ***Derek*** ^^Lola^^ Pioneer radio/ Pioneer 6-Disk CD Changer/ JBL 601.1 Grand Touring Amplifier/ Bilstein Sport shocks/ Bilstein e36sedan springs/ Green LED Courtesy Lights Accident Counter: 3... | | | 11-21-2011, 11:25 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 | Yeah, they are from an E30 sedan. The ti application is F4-B36-2027-H2 24-020275. The same shock, because the ti uses an E30 rear suspension. __________________ No more ti. | | | 11-25-2011, 04:20 AM | #3 | Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: so cal Posts: 44 | thats probably a good move. interestingly 1991 M3 Koni rear Yellow sports part# 80-2522sp1 Bilstein rear Sports 24-020275 1996 318ti non M-technik Koni rear Yellow sports part #80-2522sport Bilstein rear Sports 24-020275 hmm looks to me like the specialized shocks for these cars are not special between 1986 to 1999. similar thing happens with most other e30 rear shocks.

Again, it's an E30 rear suspension! __________________ No more ti. | | | 11-25-2011, 04:45 AM | #5 | Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: so cal Posts: 44 | Your post made me want to look up some more numbers. It is believed by some that shock manufactures do more than just put shocks on multiple vehicle because they fit, for example the spring rate or vehicle weight might be different. But I think the shock makers are saying since the motion ratios are the same the other factors are not important enough for a different shock, even for a shock manufacturer of high quality shocks. | | | 11-25-2011, 06:26 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | ok just thinking...

I try to run the boots when i can. | | | 11-25-2011, 07:17 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | cool where should i get a set of boots from? ebay? __________________ ***Derek*** ^^Lola^^ Pioneer radio/ Pioneer 6-Disk CD Changer/ JBL 601.1 Grand Touring Amplifier/ Bilstein Sport shocks/ Bilstein e36sedan springs/ Green LED Courtesy Lights Accident Counter: 3... | | | 11-25-2011, 11:04 PM | #9 | Member Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: so cal Posts: 44 | the parts store, maybe pelican if like them | | | 11-26-2011, 01:03 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | you can get the black plastic boot off your old shocks too, it's not all fancy and blue but it serves the same purpose | | | 11-28-2011, 05:07 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | shocks came in the mail the other day im excited lol. the billy springs had a fair amount of surface rust on them and the paint was coming off in huge flakes so they got a good cleaning. Repainted them with some red paint that was lying around. hopefully i can get them on tonight or tomorrow night. __________________ ***Derek*** ^^Lola^^ Pioneer radio/ Pioneer 6-Disk CD Changer/ JBL 601.1 Grand Touring Amplifier/ Bilstein Sport shocks/ Bilstein e36sedan springs/ Green LED Courtesy Lights Accident Counter: 3... | | | 11-29-2011, 02:35 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | Got them all installed now. Installation went smoothly no problems. Good thing I replaced the shocks because the ones that were on the car were shot. No rebound at all. Now pics. Here are some pics of the springs on the perches for anyone who's interested. Unfortunately, ride height is essentially unchanged... :/ with blown shock and stock springs the rear (measured at the end of the side-skirt) was about 7 inches. After the springs were on the car sat at 7.5 inches. After settling for 20 mins it was around 7 inches. If I had spent money on these springs and expected them to lower the car I'd be really upset, but since they were just laying around and free no biggie i guess. __________________ ***Derek*** ^^Lola^^ Pioneer radio/ Pioneer 6-Disk CD Changer/ JBL 601.1 Grand Touring Amplifier/ Bilstein Sport shocks/ Bilstein e36sedan springs/ Green LED Courtesy Lights Accident Counter: 3... | | | 11-29-2011, 02:39 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | when I lowered my track car the rear end actually sat noticeably higher, a shot suspension will do that | | | 11-29-2011, 02:41 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 | Take the pads out haha __________________ Im guessing im the youngest member on here with a S52 power'ed Ti at 16 years old! | | | 11-29-2011, 02:50 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2010 Location: Scranton/Wilkes-barre area PA Posts: 454 | Quote: Originally Posted by slow_ti Take the pads out haha | That doesn't seem like a good idea? that would just make the rear noisy and damage the springs. __________________ ***Derek*** ^^Lola^^ Pioneer radio/ Pioneer 6-Disk CD Changer/ JBL 601.1 Grand Touring Amplifier/ Bilstein Sport shocks/ Bilstein e36sedan springs/ Green LED Courtesy Lights Accident Counter: 3... | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
