So the time might have come for the suspension upgrade.

Reading around it's either boge turbo or bilstein b4 shocks and the springs I want to go for are mtec springs.

I don't want to compromise the ride too much and am not bothered about lowering the car too much.

Current setup has done 99k so could probably do with replacement anyway so will change shocks and springs.

My question is - where to get them from?

Build date December 91 325i convertible.

Thanks in advance.

Mtec springs from BMW only I should think, they looked up the price for me the other week, I think it was £600 odd just for the 4 springs...

I bought a set of 4 M-Technic springs from them.

Bilstein or Boge depend whether you have Tech1 or Tech2
