Hi Guys, I am looking for a cheap fix up for my 318is suspension as the one that's on is shot, just surfing through ebay looking for a cheap new kit and came across these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=011

I emailed the guy and he said they were off a 318is rather than the standard 318. SHould I plonk a bid in or would I be better off getting one of the cheap £140 kits from Germany that are to be found here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/sport-suspension- ... dZViewItem

I am strapped for cash so cheap and cheerfull is all I can afford, is it worth going for the second hand or should I save for new?, keep in mind it's for a 318IS.

Cheers

don't buy second hand shocks or springs unless you know what they've come from.

If the car is in good order all round, save up and put original spec parts on it. You know it makes sense. :D
I'm not completely perfect.......there are some bits missing or broken.
But the weather here helps!!!
