[QUOTE="wildgunsr, post: 6407, member: 867"] Hello Bros,Been aeon since i last posted here. Usual la, come here to cry for help...Ok,Got a e34 sometime ago, suspected cut spring (no space bet wheel&arch), but new shocks. so happily driving away la. Now its time to change the shocks&springs, it's got so bad, that other things are falling apart because of the bloody suspensions.Since I'm a very young man (just shush and let me pretend la) caught in this cut throat world of inflations and lousy spending power, I'm going back to all original, original shocks and springs...till the day where I can land my butt on a chair, get up, and look at where I'm sitting and see crisp RM100 notes....Since I suspect everything about the shocks are bust, I need an idea what are the things that I might be looking at to change.
