What to replace with shocks/springs?

my07_335i · 12-06-2012, 06:49 PM

Just bought Koni FSD's and Eibach pro-kit springs to install in a few weeks. MY car is @ ~46k miles. Should I replace any other parts in the suspension setup while I have it completely apart?

Things I was thinking about:
- Upper pads
- Lower spring pads
- strut support gaskets

anything else? or can I just re-use the existing parts?

At 46k you should be able to reuse existing parts. If you're going to keep the car past 100k, I'd replace the rear upper shock mounts and the front upper strut mounts.
