My car is an e36 with m brakes and Tein Basic adjustable suspension.

The suspension is originally for a coupe and I put it on a convertible.

I understand that the valve damping on them is slightly different vert vs coupe (info from tein)

On of my rear shocks has failed (may have been from a pot hole) and tein wants 4-6 weeks to rebuild one for 75.00 I really don't want to give up the car in the fall for that long so I was wondering if an experienced e36er can give me advice on what options I have purchasing new shocks elsewhere or do I have to stay with Tein?

do you have the OE suspension from the car?


you can throw on the OE parts just for the time being..... maybe someone local is selling the rear shocks, should be cheap.
