Carl 3 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 So who is running what shocks? Bilstein, Koni, KYB... I'm running Koni adjustable sports (yellows) which are great but i'm only every adjusting the fronts between the track and daily use. How do I adjust the rear shocks? Glenn? Damian? Sam? Someone help me on this one please. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carl 3 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 Yes, I thought that was the case, but do you need to fully remove the shock or can you just detach the bottom and compress it up and then turn it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 You need to remove the shocks. At the top of the steel shaft cover pain-in-the-arse thing there are small holes. Fully extend the shock, shove something into the hole (keep it clean guys!!) to push down the bump-stop and remove it through the gap, then compress and twist. Those are the instructions I got From Stocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 I've been PM'd a picture from the manual, very interesting, but at any rate the shocks need to come out. So, back to the original question, what shocks are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3 strut brace Urethane rear control arm bushes, Urethane front and rear sway bar bushes What do you think of it??Any thing you would change? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted August 21, 2005 just out of interest....the e30 motorsport rear sway bar is thicker than the stock one. the fronts seem about the same. the stiffer rear makes turning in better, and seems to have cured my understeer problem a bit...really need to do at track but yeah, i didnt change for ages as i thought they were same, before actually comparing next suspension mod.....try andys 40mm drop jamexes...maybe some urethane or M3 CAB's.....pretty happy other wise is a mint road setup, just needs more at the track..but cant win em all maybe dunlop formula R's..badass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
