Hello! Recommend me aftermarket shocks and springs for my 325i tourer. Koni? Bilstein? :) Sachs?

And I don't know if tourer shocks are different from cabrios'. Thanks! :D

H&R Cup Kit is brilliant - Ԛ£345 - well tested and agrred by most users to be brilliant.

Then you have the more expensive options like Bilstien shocks/Koni shocks with either H&R Springs or Eibach springs.

Have a look on the Zone Shop for some treid and tested products.

My tip is don't get Spax adjustables as the adjusters on the rears have seized up after only about 1 1/2 year of use :cheese:

my tip is unless you are doing some sserious track use and compettion then get the cheapest set... too many people pay hundreds for shocks to drive around on shitty uk roads..

FBF - that is no reason to buy cheap shocks.
