Did you finish that rear-damper 'How To' Boss?

That's what I really like about your car Dougie..
All performance and handling improvements.. You haven't bothered trying to tart it up with black bits and neons, just went with the important stuff

Still not got the brace fitted, weather put paid to that last weekendmarco_polo said:Brace Pics for me?!

Will get the pics I took put together over the next day or 2.
Yep, once the rear brace is on, only other thing I would consider is replacing the front shocks with Bilsteins as well.muz1990 said:That's what I really like about your car Dougie..

How come you only did the rears Dougie? Are you running factory springs with the B8s? Have to agree with Muz, proper choice of mods.Ecosse said:Yep, once the rear brace is on, only other thing I would consider is replacing the front shocks with Bilsteins as well.muz1990 said:That's what I really like about your car Dougie..

If I hold on to mine I may look at the BMWP Intake, exhaust and the Quaiffe

Rear passenger side was gone on the previous shocks. Had only recently replaced the front springs.
In hindsight I should have got it all done at once, but front spring had snapped so just wanted them replaced asap, was not even considering shocks until the rear went.
I've never had anything other than the standard M Sport suspension until a front spring snapped.Mark34bn said:
Now with Bilstein B8's along with eibach sportlines, I have zero complaints about the ride or handling.
Still pretty firm
, but far better than standard.
He's back
