They’re not really in the same league. The STR.T is konis ‘entry level’ performance shock. They are very good, basically a non-adjustable version of the Sports. But you will get a slightly harder ride than stock.

The special actives are more expensive and offer a different value proposition.

‘Better’ depends on what’s important to you. For Budget and handling - STRT are a good option.

Ok was wondering since the word "best" was used.

Personally very interested in the active specials since you mentioned them.

FYI its in my sig ,

135i e82 N55 DCT EXCLUSIVE.

AFAIK all 135i's have the same suspension ( msport )

this is true :hammerhead:

If the ride height is the same as the msport then I would fit Bilstein B8s.

If it's higher then the msport then the b6s would be the correct shock.

They're around 10k a set
