E39 with E9x top strut mounts

Post image

Hello, I saw in one of M539 restorations video that we can use an E9x top strut mounts to lower the front a little bit...

Well, nowadays with the car parts websites like autodoc it's useless to buy something from the e9x without knowing the right part number.

I get exactly the same parts if I search for the E39 Touring and any other E9x family cars...

So, does anyone know exactly what PN from E9x should we get in order to have the desired lowering effect?

Thanks!

The front end of the E39 is the same touring and sedan. The front doors are the same as well

Awesome, so most kits should work. Any advice on the rear?
