Hi all,
The rear shock absorbers on me E90 are finished, can any of you recommend a place in Gauteng where I can get shocks.
What is the approximate cost.

Thanks

Speak to Moranor, he is on the Forum and one of the Advertisers. He will hook you up with OEM quality if not better at great prices. :coolShake:

hey

are you looking for all 4?

best value or money is Koni STR.T these are better than stock and way better than cheap replacements that are worse than what BMW fitted from factory

I can also arrange fitment in boksburg if you like

Hi,

I have a 2007 E90 320i Sport and the ride is quite hard over any slightly bumpy sections of the roads would replacing the shocks resolve this?

If you have runflats on, removing them for normal tyres will make the world of difference. It used to hurt my back hitting small bumps with 17s and rfts. I changed to 19s with normal tyres and it made the ride a 100 times smoother over bumps. Definitely the first step. And you can get a space saver kit from bmw.

whats the price on the space saver kit?

I would also like to know, the run flats are killing me, they are so expensive.

Speaking of tyres, I'm going to need some soon but while looking for non runflats, this thought occured to me:
would replacing runflats with normal tyres not affect insurance incase there is a claim?
Those guys look for any reason not to pay and if you fitted non BMW spec tyres could they have reason to reject the claim???

You can get them second hand for 2 to 3k.

No it would not. I asked my broker. If you're in doubt though get it in writing from your insurance.
