Probably none you'll notice agreed if using factory shocks. 51mm makes your aftermarket range a lot better in both price range and performance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 16, 2011 ^^^^ Still plenty of series cars running on 45mm struts with the series Koni adjustable shock. Still go round corners plenty well enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcbaurpower 5 Report post Posted January 10, 2012 For a 318 or 320 non modified car then the factory 45mm setup is perfect. If however you have replaced the engine with a M20B25 then 51mm would be the easiest upgrade to compensate for the extra weight. Also you may need to consider the likes of clearance for wheels.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 I would assume an M20B20 would weigh more or less the same as a B25? I changed to 51mm struts because I could, and I got them with lowering springs. Koni adjustable make everything good. also makes it easy so you can have all your struts made up properly, painted, tidied etc ad then just bang them in, in a few hours.
