  • Chassis code E30: you can usually find it in your vehicle documents or by decoding your VIN.
  • Factory adaptive dampers: if your car has electronic or adaptive suspension, check whether the listing covers it or needs a cancellation kit.

Ask about fitment

Parts that usually go with it

  • An alignment. Any change in ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height first, then align.
  • Camber and toe adjustment. Bigger drops often need adjustable arms or camber plates to align properly. See alignment and camber kits.
  • Management. Air struts need a compressor, tank and controller unless the listing says they're included.
  • Wheel and tire clearance. Check clearance at full lock and full compression, especially with wider wheels.
