Has anyone put these shocks on there car? I have aftermarket springs (DMS) and I would like to make sure everything is in order before I purchase this set. What are your expierences with these shocks as well. Any difference in launching/cornering? I don't road race and barely get to the track, I just want a smooth ride. My current shocks in the front are shot and these look like a reasonable replacement. TIA.

They should be good all purpose shocks. I am thinking of getting some myself (the HDs and not the SLP revalved ones). What is the best price you have found?

 

Shoebox... a BMW place has the best price on them. Comes to about 300 bucks shipped to your door. I have a post in the Suspension/autocross forum about em.

 

Texas speed is doing them $315 in the GP section of this site. I'm going to pick up a set.

 

How much difference is there really between the revalved slps and the HDs. I dont autox at all and it will be mainly for street and trips to the strip. Are either of these decent or great for street/strip. I have heard some people say that there arent many differences between some shocks. One guy said that he used 1Le decarbons and they were decent for him. Heck I wouldnt mind Koni adjustables or QA1 shocks but those are kinda expensive.

 

That's what I was looking into as well but the price is what gets me. I don't hit the strip at all (well havent yet with this car) so any shock that's good in price and better then the stocks got my vote.

Thanks. Has anyone bought from them? Legit place to deal with?

 

I assume you're talking about TX Speed? The communications I've been having with them are great, I'm ordering a set on Friday so I will let you know how everything goes.

Sorry, no. The bimmer place that ZDriver96 mentioned http://www.bimmerparts.com . $300 shipped for all 4.

Also I did not like the feedback from TXspeed. When I emailed about the original GP price it was way high (I see they reduced it). Then they sent me a new price and it was more than the advertised regular price on their web page. I emailed about that and they never responded.

 

hmmm, this bimmerparts place seems more interesting. I would like to know also if someone has purchased from them.
