e92 suspension dilema...

I currently have MSport and lowered with H&R Springs, which I'm very happy with the drop and ride quality, however today I noticed my rear NS shock has gone.

So what do I do?

1) Replace the 2 rear shocks with MSports which would cost about £100 (I think!)

2) Replace them with coilovers? If so, which ones and what sort of prices am I looking at?

Thanks

If you happy with your current set up why spend more on coilovers.

I wouldn't do that as FSDs are for stock springs.

OP i'd replace the four shocks with Koni Yellows.

Koni Yellow is the right direction!

But if you are happy... just buy some msport dampers.

I'm considering Koni Yellow's but I can't find much on eBay or google with a price for my 320d...

Roughly, how much do they cost? Links?

When i bought them... £550 for 4 corners.
But as you have a 320d... maybe a little cheaper

Fair play on the Yellows but I've seen many people go for FSDs with eibachs/H&Rs, they seem to work just as well
