Suspension problem
1984 BMW 318 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Hi, I need to have my suspension replaced and just want to know how I find out what size shocks I need. When I looked at buying them online, they seem to specify a certain size and I am not sure how to measure my car to check.

Cheers,

Shell

Go to Realoem.com and see if there is what you need there. Bilstein makes great shocks too, go with the heavy duty and not the sport shocks. Or Boge Turbo gas is good for less $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
