No worries, I'd look into other brands too depending on the application you are using them for
Fast road, and maybe the odd track day in the future.
Was just going with tried and tested, and recommendations from others.
I'm open to suggestions

Got mine from Euro Performance, at the time, about a month ago, they were cheapest I could find (of UK based firms). £727 delivered.

. I doubt you'll get them cheaper than that, maybe worth checking delivery times though? I needed mine asap as it had failed it's mot on a snapped spring.Muckinonthesofa said:bmwaddict said:

B6 Shocks for the M are different to the standard B8 Shocks the normal kit comes with.
I would be going down the KW cool over route personally.
I have the B4 Shocks on my M3 as they didn't do the B8's and they are good but I will change to coilovers in the long run.
I had the B12 kit on my 3.0i Z4 (B8 Shocks) and it was excellent.

Are the B6s shorter? I think I read that somewhere.
I have fitted coilovers on previous cars, but I just don't have the money atm for the ones I'd want (over 2k) if I want to do all the other things I have planned this year (wheel refurb, ARBs, performance exhaust system, front end respray)
Plus I don't really need adjustable ride height.
The H&R springs I have fitted currently look pretty old and are a bit flakey so I'll be replacing them as well.

Thanks I did see that a while back, anything will be an improvement on my 100k miles original shocks!

They have adjustability and get good reviews
Unless they have started making them for some reason, there aren't any for the M. Except some custom Koni shocks from some US tuning company. It was on a TST youtube clip.
