Thanks for the porn picture John, they look great! Can't wait to try them out.

Can you put 4 of the tube seals for the 40mm with them? I need to service mine and also want spares.

Can ship them back whenever you want, but I don't get back till the 14th.

Isn't there a relatively easy conversion you can do to upgrade to the E36 style struts?

Yes your right you could, in the over analyzing part of me it only thinks of how much heavier all the e36 stuff is. But let's see those pics!!!

Heavier maybe....but I think the real reason for it is serviceability. On the E30 isn't the hub part of the shock or something weird like that?

The e36 is way easier to R&R the front suspension, I don't remember anything about the hubs.

Got my 50mm today and they are sweet! Thanks John! They are definitely the porn star of the JVAB suspension family.

Bills are taking longer than expected. Gone for 3 weeks, God forbid that the woman have actually opened a single envelope.
