318 g ride 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2006 hey guys i have a pre-face e30 318 lowered on superlow jamex's. it drives fine as i have new munroe shocks in the back and i have had no probs, but i have a warrant soon and the front springs are not captive in the standard shocks. i have been quoted $200 for having my 20yr old shocks shortened with a wheel allignment, is this a reasonable price or is there antwhere else i could go for some cheaper shortening or even some cheap new shocks that do not requre further shortning. any help is well considered. cheers guys.

ducatiss 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2006 Why would you even bother spending money on 20 year old shocks - they will no doubt be stuffed at that age. Unfortunately as is so often the case with people trying to lower their cars on a budget, only half the job gets done. Sports shocks would do the trick, but they come at a hefty price.

WOW! the magic of search IMo no point getting a lumpy cams - you will get no noticeable performance out of it, spending more money than required and on top of that you will idle funny. if you are so concerned about your money then dont bother with the lumpy cam and with any money you save spend it elsewhere - place you will notice it.
