These may be the competition type. I have seen them on Porsches. Instead of a threaded sleeve type adjuster for a coil over setup, the strut body is threaded. This is also  the shock body - no insert. Pricey if that's what they are.

So they do not fit, but I think this is good settings for racing on E30, but not for bumpy tracks, I think that bump should be 0.5 of rebound force.

Is this it?
