[rayjuan]

hi bros

my 2006 e90 323i has done a total milleage of 133,000km to date and am thinking of buying a set of h&R or eibach lowering springs....

is it advisible to get the shocks changed too? as their kinda old now.. or will it be still able to compliment the new lowering springs?

please advice thank you very much!!

>100k used, your shock is fully utilized liao
It's a good idea to change it since you want to install lowering spring

If you are not keeping the ride for long, get a used set of sports suspension from e9X who have changed to aftermarket coils.
