I am looking to do a suspension refresh on my e85 and found this set on fleebay....not sure if they are genuine Sachs??

:?
 
That's about the same as the autodoc prices on a good discount day. So pobably are genuine.
Word of warning though, check what make the top mounts are.
I made that mistake once and got Meyle HD rears. They're on wifey's 2.5i now but are getting swapped to Lemforder asap. The only thing worse than the knocking is the earache I'm getting about it!

And whereas with Autodoc you can return the goods if defective, I'd be dubious whether this seller would do that?

Great thanks ....I have heard about the Melye top mount problem, so I will find out what make they are :thumbsup:

The autodoc app has 36% off today so that would bring it to around the same price, delivery probably a bit sooner and definite peace of mind.
 
The other thing to keep in mind is is there may be import charges on top of that? I bought something from Poland last week for £166 and got my import bill of £39.66 yesterday and if not paid the goods would be returned.

The site said vat was included in the price and I paid in gbp
 
Yup, just looked at autodoc.
Excluded the front dust covers as they are mostly plastic and you're better to clean and re-use your rubber ones.
Sachs shocks, Lemforder top mounts, febi bilstein bump stops and rear dust covers: £383:20

(Picked those makes as I can vouch for them 3 or 4 times over)

No import charges and I'm currently getting stuff from them in around 7-8 days.

Oh yes, sorry if that wasn't clear.
First time I ordered the covers too and they're a horrible brittle looking plastic. 10 minutes with a cloth and some AG Bumper gel and the original ones come up good as new. so yes, order the bump stops without the covers.

Forgot the knee pads! Or maybe that's just my age and my gravel drive!
 
I just got my delivery from auto doc of Sachs dampers all 4 corners, top mounts, covers but forgot about new knuckle bolts. Are they anything special or will they need replaced? Are they M12 bolts ?
Box everything was in was all burst open but thankfully everything inside as it should be

These are what you need:

Bad news about the box. I thought they were pretty sturdy, so someone has been careless.
