hi,
just got my lowering springs from eurosport tuning a few days ago. still haven't decided on shocks yet. i'm leaning towards bilstein touring class over boge turbo gas. is there anything else i should replace at the same time like ball joints and tie rod ends? already have poly cone bushings, ipd bars and cherry turbo strut braces. my car is an '89 turbo sedan with 201k km.
thanks for any suggestions.

    I too used the sachs advantage and have been quite pleased with them. Now might be a good time to replace the ball joints.

    Take a look at your bump stops. I could see the red rubber deteriorating on mine. FCP carries the KYB combination bump stop/bellows for a good price.

    You can also pry the strut mount bearing apart and add some grease to the ball bearings.

    Hello,

    I just changed out all the suspension on my '89 745TI. I bought Sachs Advantage
    shocks and inserts form FPC Groton. Feels like a brand new car.
