HOW MUCH????

These are on mine and several others, much stronger than standard and much more sensibly priced!

I've just had a pair of Febi Bilstein ones fitted. No idea if they're any good, but at £7.05 + vat, they were a lot cheaper than the Main Stealers! Bought them from Andrew Page Ltd.

I have used Ice Hockey Pucks. If you keep an eye on the bolts you use, they do a very good job for little money.

I've got a set of these: http://store.bimmerworld.com/heavy-duty ... -p523.aspx

I bought them before I found out about the Burton ones. They fit straight on but I haven't driven the car yet to find out if they are any good.

Do you get any more noise/vibration using these? (Burton ones)

didn't notice any difference, the 6 is smooth so doesn't tend to transmit much noise anyway.
