Does anyone know where I might find a part number for the spacer that was typically installed between the front strut mount and the underside of the shock tower on 2002s in the US? I'm an E21 guy looking for one of these. Already looked at realoem but can't seem to find it. Was it a particular year. Better yet, does someone have a spacer they want to get rid of. I heard they came in a range of heights. Looking for about 1/2 inch (13mm).

Thanks

thickness; I'm sure you'll find plenty that no one wants. The P/N for the front spacer is cast into the part IIRC...

I think you're confusing the differing heights with the rubber rear spring mounts that do come in three different heights.

Many E21's without a/c have a slight list to the left of ~1/2" and mine is one of them, which then causes a shimmy. So I was thinking this might get rid of it rather than investing in height adjustable coilovers. I'm already running Eibach's and Bilstein Sports with some urethane bushings. What does everyone think. Will this just screw up all my other steering angles? If not, anyone got one they want to get rid of for shipping?

I'm sure I can find you one out of the bazillion that I have piled up from suspension upgrades.

Pay for shipping and its yours.
