2001 M3 rear shocks

Can anyone recommend a source for "reasonably" priced rear shocks for my



2001 M3 (USA)? My dealer is over $600. OUCH!!!

Thanks!


Darn, other than suspension kits, these are hard to find. But, here is one choice: Pelican Parts

Thanks, Bob. I'll give them a call.

You are certainly welcome. I have a strong feeling that you will also need rear shock mounts. You might want to consider something better designed than stock. Pelican has a reenforced Meyle and a JTD replacement. For a really robust mount, look at Turner Motorsport.

Very perceptive, Bob. It is actually the mounts that have my attention right now. They are worn out and need to be replaced. I figured while I was there, I'd replace the shocks as well. As for the shocks, I've been quite happy with their performance and have no complaints with them. Do you think I can do better without compromising the relatively comfortable ride and without spending a fortune?

I was completely satisfied with my stock suspension. It will cost a fortune to make any meaningful and properly conceived modifications. Just get those beefed-up mounts and replace the shocks if worn out with the Sachs/Boge ones.
