330D M-sport rear shocks

Bilstein have recommended the B8 as a like for like replacement. Clickable Auto supplies the pair for $410. Any thoughts?

Most guys on this platform say the koni yellows are a better shock.

Are you sure that price is for the pair though?

Not a bad deal if thats the case, but Id recommend doing B8 fronts also if you did go with fresh rears

What would be the issue if I replaced the rears and not the front?

get a price for fronts too imo, fresh shocks all round plus the B8 dampers have firmer rates than oem (Assuming you have oem in the front?)

Better to do the shocks all round. No point just doing the rears.
