1.9 suspension

[jony9]

Hi all I have new eibach springs on my standard 1.9 z3 just wanted to know what shocks and dampers should i get as i dont need to buy a coilover kit as i already have new eibach springs.

Cheers

Eibachs will work with standard shocks if you're dropping it 30mm. If the shocks need to be replaced (quite possible) Monroe are a good choice.

Yes, they look like the ones, but I would shop around for a better price. @Sean d can you recommend a source please?

Tony.

 

[Sean d]

Can,t remeber what I paid but no where near the price on the above link, think it was nearer £300 for all corners, I tend to use German ebay for a lot of my purchases

Thank you Sean

Tony.

 

[jony9]

Thank you very much that's my next purchase do you guys recommend changing anything else when I'm changing the shocks.. cheers jon.

Front anti roll bar drop links would be worth doing at the same time if needed.

Just check that the top mounts will fit for a 1.9, as the links I used were for the work I carried out on the 2.8

Should be the same but worth checking before hitting any 'But' button.
