Hi all,
Looking at replacing the shocks all round. Car OK on motorways etc but on country lanes lacks sharpness of direction rather worryingly (1999, S50).
No intention of track days or any other crazy stuff, just want it to handle a little better.
I intend to keep the standard springs (no lowering!) but don't want a car thats really stiff & crashy afterwards.
Are genuine BMW shocks really that bad?
Bilsteins & Konis seem to keep popping up when net searching.
Are the Bilstein B6's a little softer than the B8's? I've even seen B4's on offer??
Which Konis give the best ride/handling compromise?
Finally, anyone have experience of a good supplier.
I know this has question has been asked a few times, just not recently from what I can see.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Howard
