    New "Made in Europe" Seat Shocks & Cabrio Specific Struts

    Ive sold 100s of these to forum members with nothing but positive feedback. I get these directly from the factory and they are an exact replacement fit for the factory shocks. The back shocks match the factory 350N and the bottom shocks are 450N which is less than the factory 500N but they function perfectly.

    Each set includes 4 shocks for 1 sport seat and 8 new push nuts to install them. These also fit e28, e24 ans e23

    one set shipped via USPS Priority Post CONUS is $80 and 2 sets is currently $145 (this was just dropped due to exchange rates and is valid while supplies last)

    I can vouch for these. Used them to rebuild a few sets of sports seats with great results.

    Thank you for putting up the resources to have these made!

    Im glad they are appreciated. Thank you.

    I see a 2002 in your sig. Its my understanding that the 2002 sport seat has 2 shocks that are NLA. Any truth to that ?

    For all you cabrio owners take note...I am having struts made for the deck lid cover and for the soft top hinge. I didn't even know these existed til I went to strip my spare top frame but they do make raising it easier. There's also a plastic sleeve that goes with these and I've cleaned out bmw on these all the way back to Germany so will be including them.

    i hope to have them in time for spring so stay tuned.

    In addition to seat shocks I've now got cabrio soft top hinge struts available including OE plastic sleeves (which seem to be NLA on some sights). These are an exact replacement for the ones you probably don't even know your soft top has. I only found out I had them when I was stripped my old top frame so I had them custom made by the manufacturer who makes the seat shocks. They are the same 380N as OE and I have them on my own Cabrio.

    these will make raising and lowering your top much easier as it basically "unweights" the top. This is also the same PN for an electric top and will go a long way to protecting your motors and hardware due to less strain in the mechanism.

    $89 shipped CONUS



    i also had deck lid struts made and they are 180N and are $40/pair. Buy these with the top hinge struts and get all 4 for $125 to your US door.







    get the Whole Enchilada ...so 8 seat shocks and the 4 cabrio shocks...for $259 shipped
