    Stagg Shock/Strut Reviews?

    This has been touched upon briefly in other threads, but I wanted to bring it to light in its own thread. I have seen these being sold on Ebay for around $178.00 us. for both front and rear. Its stated they have a limited lifetime warranty on them.

    Has anyone used these and are they worth the money? Some honest feedback would be excellent. Fellas chime in and help us out.

    The website is:

    http://staggshocks.biz/

    So no one has anything to say about these? A lot of views with no opinions.

    Ok I'll be the test monkey on these Ordered a set of 4 @ 200 will give a review of them after installed. So it'll hopefully clear the smoke.

    Well I get the Shocks and Struts tomorrow but these will be useless to me as my IS has a M Sport Suspension Package on it.

    So I would be willing to sell these to anyone local or if anyone wants them shipped they would be $200 plus shipping. They weigh around 50lbs so keep that in mind.

    Please send PM if interested.

    thanks

    You can use those shocks/struts with your IS sports suspension. If you had an M, you could not due to the sway bar mount.

    Really? The Stealer said it would not work do to the M sport package, and these not being a sport shock or strut. Now I'm confused.lol

    Thise struts will work on any late model E36 that has the sway bar mounted to the lower control arm. If your sway bar connects to the strut, these will not work. also, what kind of bushing is that on the rear struts?

    Hitchhikker; can you please put those in your car so we can know if they are good or not Its almost summer don't you want a nice suspension for all those winding roads? Actually it doesn't matter, its how long they last and that could be years. Think I am going to buy a set this weekend on ebay.

    My cousin put a set of these on his ride. they handle and corner well with a nice stiff ride. I was impressed with the feel.

    Although I still am selling my set as i got a really good deal on a complete set of bils.

    Well here is an update on the install, after 3 months on the car, the pass side strut blew out and the rears lost their stiffness. after 5 months! really would not go into buying or using these total waste of money. Sorry fellas hope someone has a better experience with these.

    Cool stagg shocks/struts with vogtland sport springs

    i just had this kit installed over the weekend,

    STAGG STRUTS, SHOCKS & VOGTLAND SPRINGS BMW E36 318i 318is 92 - 95



    since i had been running around with blown OEM suspension for the last year ,i wanted to try something new so i am giving this set up a go around. so far i am VERY impressed with the ride and the drop is not too low and my car feels SO much more stable,gonna do a front suspension overhaul in the next week as my LCAB'S and ball joints are toast as are my RTAB'S,going with a poly upgrade so i should be able to give a more detailed feedback as soon as everything is swapped out and my car settles to it's final ride hight.

    Hitchhiker, how did they blow out so quickly? I plan on ordering from ebay a complete set of mookeeh mk1 gas struts/shocks for $119. They are said to be 30% stiffer. Wondering if I should reconsider. I'm rolling on springs since everything else failed. Any tips or opinions??

    Thumbs up Stagg Shock/Strut Reviews?

    so far over 2000 miles on my set-up and no issues watsoever. the ride is still firm but not to bumpy and the handling is great. the 1.4/1.0 drop is perfect for me as it is my DD. just did a complete front control arm, bushing(poly), tie rod, and end link swap to complete my front suspension overhaul and the difference is night and day!

    Any updates on the durability of these? Considering used Bilstein HD's vs Stagg, my front struts are shot and the car is fairly dangerous to drive.

    LOL my car is dangerous to drive too! Might be giving these a shot, price sounds good. But then like "everybody" says you get what you pay for.

    Stagg struts

    I just installed the stagg struts that I ordered, front & rear.. The car handles much better! In my opinion as long as I'm gonna drive normal (not like those F1 drivers wanna be ) this struts will last for ages!
