Hey all, I have a 335i touring that has just failed the mot last week. It has 325i sports shocks but one has gone on the front.

I only have a week to find some new shocks, at a real push i can afford £400 thought would rather spend £200. whats best to go for?

^^^^^ What magpie says, but ask them to check the box before sending out as sometime the shock collar is missing.

Your choice of damper might be narrowed down by what springs you have, if they are 50mm = lowering a standard damper is usually too long
