Help needed with shocks
After a veichle check saturday i have a leaking n/s/f shock.
Along with this 2 cracked rear wheels. So i have the wheel situation sort of under control, spoke to chris at cm wheels, now just trying to find tyres. So my new setup will be 19 x 8.5 et 37 fronts 19 x 9.5 et 30 rears Gonna run with 235/35/19 up front And 265/30/19 rears Also would like to get eibach pro springs for a sensible drop that the wife wont realise as il be fitting new wheels. My problem is i have looked on realoem and it states over 10 different part numbers for the front shock. I know there made by sachs which all ECP and companies like that sell. But they dont state if there m sport or se. The only difference i have found is m-tech which i assume is for M/// cars. There £274 each from the stealers so thats a no go. I have an 08 320d m sport if anyone could point me in the right direction please. Or even maybe aftermarket shocks on the front but i dont even know where to start looking as there too many kits avaliable. If someone could please help me in the last part of the jigsaw id appreciate it alot as ive spent 4 hours last night trying to get my head round all the wheels/tyres/springs combo right and another 3 hours tonight Reece

Check out bilstein b4 shocks as a replacement with msport suspension. Or if you are going to lower with eibach springs go with the bilstein b4s and shortened bump stops.

Yeah you can I had standard msport shocks with eibach pro dampers first. The ride was very crashy etc so then fitted the bilstein b4s shocks which transformed the feel.

Suppose you could but i wouldn't personally. I got mine from a bilstein supplier on ebay. Drop them a message and check that the bilstein b4 is a match for standard msport shock.

Does anyone looking at this know the product code for eibach pro springs for a 2008 e90 320d m sport as looking on ebay and other sites its giving me too many options
