Also, note the b8's in the kit have their own bump stops. They are built in the struts & underneath the blue dust cover on the shocks. |

How was your install? Do you have torque values at all you could share? It's been awhile since I worked on a BMW |

No problem. Just go slow when tightening the top nut and don't use an air impact...I'd say no more than 100ft lbs is all you need. Otherwise you risk over torquing and snapping the shaft which I have done on a Bilstein B4 strut. 5-6 threads is what will be visible when fully torqued.

Biggest thing is using the right torque settings when tightening things up. Use a Bentley Repair Manuel. I know it's $100.00 brand new, but I can't tell you how many times it's been a god send.

Question? Should I buy new end links? And is there any other parts that I'm going to need for the install..Just want to be ready when it warms up out here 🙂
