Hi All, I have a '96 328i sedan with 124,000+ miles. The car is a daily driver and I liked the factory ride, but could live with something a little stiffer. On a recent trip to the dealer I asked them to check my suspension. They said the rear shocks are shot, which I agree with. I asked about the condition of the rear springs and was told they don't need to be replaced unless they're actually broken. Is this true? I was thinking why not change the springs at the same time? Also, they told me that my front suspension is "worn", but still has some life left. I would consider upgrading all 4 corners at the same time to improve the ride and get it done all at once. What would you recommend? BAV auto has their own brand coilover kit that is very reasonably priced. Any word on the quality of their own brand? How are coilovers different from the regular BMW set-up? I would do the work myself, with the Bently manual close at hand! Any tips on doing the job would be greatly appreciated! TIA for the help and advice.
