Shock absorbers for an E90

[[email protected]]

I would like to find out, what the effect would be if I was to fit gabriel shocks (priced at R2500) as opposed to BMW shocks (Priced at R7500) besides the obvious effect on my pocket?

I have been spun all kinds of stories that the ride will be effected and due to run flat tyres I should stear clear of any non factory fitted parts.

Can anyone give me some advise?

M-sport or non M-sport?

I have non OEM in front on my M-sport with runflats...my car feels fine.

I think BMW sell the shock with the coil spring and topshock mounting altogether thats why it so effing expensive.

E90 Koni STR.T
Front R 3180 a pair
Rear R 1950 a Pair

these are a nice upgrade from stock the general replacement shocks are worse than what the car came with from factory...

something not right there Koni Sports are way more than that...

Retail:
Front R 5695 a pair
Rear R 3810 a pair

Axis price:
Front R 5130 a pair
Rear R 3425 a pair

maybe you were quoted on Koni STR.T:

Retail:
Front R 3530 a pair
Rear R 2320 a pair

Axis price:
Front R 3180 a pair
Rear R 2090 a pair

even if you were quoted on STR.T its still a bit low im betting they working off the old price list (prices have gone up because of exchange rate) or quoted without Vat

all my prices are including Vat and shipping...
