So here's a question that i didn't find discussed in @HB Chris' wonderful FAQ on the changes to the E9 throughout the model revisions. there are different front strut numbers for the 2800cs and the 3.0cs. I have heard that the difference occurred when the lower arms became slightly longer ... but i am not positive. i presume that the part numbers
the first 2800cs part numbers were 31311102855 / 856
the superceded 2800cs numbers are 31311110803 / 804
the 3.0cs strut numbers are 31311110805 / 806
the tension strut (item 1 on 31/2) changed at some point, but that is all i see in the orange book.
original - 31121101969
next - 31121112885
current - 31121110798 (not in orange book)
so here is the question ... anybody know the difference? as i have a 2800cs and am thinking of buying a spare set of struts in case i change to coilovers ... i am curious as to whether the 3.0cs part number might mess something up on the 2800cs.
