Call Alex at Southwest Autoworks - if they're made, he'll have the best price.

Why are you doing Eibach's? They get alot of bad press here in NICO for Q's. Also, are you going to just replace the shocks with stockers since that is all that is available. Not sure how good that combo will be

Using stiffer springs with shocks designed for oem springs will wear the shocks fast. Not to mention the pogo stick effect on the highway.

I have the Eibachs, no probs with 'em.

If you dont have stiffer shocks w/ 'em it will wear out the shocks quicker but no biggie I would think.

FY33 shocks, being OEM only, are quite a bit more expensive. That being said, they seem to have a 50% longer life with OEM springs than the OEM G50 shock/spring combination.

I have a brand new set that I never installed. I can have them shipped to you for 250.

Since I've gone thru 5 sets of shocks in 13.5 years [oem, blues, blues, blues, blues]............and paid for each set $1600++ [plus labor]....................heck the rears have 21,000 miles on them [in 1 year and 2 months] already budgeting for their replacement in Spring 2005.

One of these days I have to swap back to oem springs.

Thank you everyone for the inputs.Well, this is the reason why I want to drop my Q:

I saw a 97 M3 5-speed sedan the other day and was on the verge of trading in my Q for that little rocket. I thought about that when I got home and decide not to follow my lust (again)because I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I used to have a '90 525i and a '94 325is about 7 years ago. They weren't very reliable. Now since I want to keep my Q I decide to make a little improvement on the look department of the Q. Simply, I want when an M5 or S55 owner see my car they'd have to say " WOW" :)
