Need help with Koni Shock Upgrade. What other parts do I need?

335imax · 09-10-2010, 10:34 AM

Just bought a E90 325i 2006 with 57k miles

I am going to buy koni adjustable shocks and struts, and use the existing sport springs. What additional parts should I buy. Do I need to do the front and rear shock/strut mounts as well?
What part numbers do I need, and where is a good place to purchase everything. I was going to buy the shocks from TireRack, but they don't have any additional OEM parts.

Part numbers, opinions, and places to buy a whole kit would be Wonderful!

Thanks!

I replaced my dampers with Koni FSD's at 20k miles and didn't change a thing. I'm not a mechanic, but if I were you I'd replace the spring perches while the dampers are out. I'm sure you'll enjoy those new Koni's; wish I would have installed the Sports..
