Rear End SORTED!!!!

Just bit the bullit and had the rear shocks,springs,retaining nuts and chf 11s all done

Fronts were done 2 years ago

Park Lane get my vote

She drives much much better and does not feel at all soggy anymore

I wont disclose the sum but money WELL SPENT

The Ring is calling

I must say keeping her original was a major must in my book it will break my heart to sell her when the dreaded time comes but i know i wont be looking over my shoulder

Where the hell have you been?

Yep keeping the rear-end and front for that matter is a must. BMW knew what they were doing!

Re: Rear End SORTED!!!!

OK OK Don't rub it in !!!!

I hate my cheap £95 Maxxi tyres (on all 4 corners) now I am fortunate enough to be in full time employment again. Needs must at the time I suppose.........

Car handles like a banana in a bucket of snot (sorry for the image, but now you get the picture !!)

Well pleased you are happy mate.

Mark

Re: Rear End SORTED!!!!

You should have a look at mytyres.co.uk, you could get goodyear f1's for that kind of money, then all you need to do is get someone to fit them, should be no more than a tenner a corner, or £20 to a helpful Kwikfit person when their boss is out, if such a person exists at kwikfit etc.
