Rear suspension KAPUT

[O'Neill]

Those go on top of rear damper struts in the boot. Where you put the e36 strengthening plates when using a full rear coilover.

These

Matt do the paper gaskets go inside the boot or underneath?

And I still need to know how to strip down to get the bump stop off

[s.mac]

Cheers Matt, ordered

I've got a price Paul

The part number has changed from 31.52 to 33.52.2.282.507

Did you have to order top mounts as well?

My old struts look a whole lot better than yours, no rust, but one recoils a bit faster than the other so best change both. I'm sure the top mounts would be fine though, how do you take them off?

You might as well buy a New set of these Steve as they are known to wear out and take but a minute to change :thumbs:
I used these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009095603...301%26_rdc%3D1 ... with my recent New OEM rear dampers as they are stronger then OEM and about 1/3 of the cost of the BMW supplied ones + come with 4 year warranty as oppose to BMWs 2 year warranty. Win, Win, Win ! :beer:

Steve I think they were around £150 each. Cant really remember but I'll pull the invoice tomorrow and check.

Alex since it had a new engine and all the other bits it doesn't seem worth tracking it :bigcry: I know it's not right but I would rather thrash a cheaper car round a track

[alexk]

Another one bites the dust :whistle:

[s.mac]

Paul, how much were the struts only?

I'm going to take the AST off and go standard, I don't track it so don't see the need to have a race setup.

Nice work, bet it feels much better now!

[rstoughy]

Very nice. It's better to refresh the lot all together. What's that little lot worth ? £650 ?

Yes just shy of £700 then another £150 today on various other bits and bobs :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :hahaha:
Needs must :whistle:
