Shocks and Spring Set - e93
Hi Guys,
My mot just failed because my rear shocks are leaking apparently . The car was in for a Service and MOT with BMW so the quote for a rear shock pair from BMW was around 500 quid. i had been previously contemplating dropping my car and now that i need to replace the rear shocks anyway, I might as well get the work done now. i have seen a few kits for the E93. Also the kits cost around £600 so it makes much more sense to do this than to pay for the OEM ones from bmw. The kits i have seen are B12 + eibach and Koni I know nothing about suspension and springs so apologies if these next questions sound silly but I was wondering if someone could help? 1) Do both of these kits include the shocks that I need? Or is my understanding of what i need incorrect? 2) What sort of charge would I be looking at to get a kit fitted? 3) Will both these kits give me the desired drop im after aswell as they seem to have H&R or Eibach springs Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

As I have just replaced my suspension with a set of SPAX coilovers fully adjustable I thought I would entertain an answer.
Both the B12 + the Koni suspension kits are good and will have every thing you will require. The only problem I find is they will lower the car and can not be adjusted to suet the car but with Coilovers you can adjust the ride height to your own needs/style. AS for fitting, I paid £100 as it was a mate that did the installation and he works at his dad's garage. I was quoted £400 by one garage and £350 from another so that would be the going rate from a garage. If your near Andover I could have a word and arrange some thing if your willing to travel, I normally replace them my self but there is to much to take apart for my liking... |
