    Dampers and Springs

    Whilst replacing my rear wheel speed sensors recently, I notice about 50cm or so so have broken off my rear springs. I haven't noticed any drive-ability issues. My struts seem to be in decent shape, but I may as well replace them too.

    I am curious what is out there in terms of decent after-market parts. I have an M-Spec model, so I haven't had any issues with performance. In fact, I have been happy with the ride. With that being said, I am not interested in doing any lowering or sport tuning.

    I'm a fan of Bilstien and Eibach. They have been my go-to items for previous bimmers, but I'm not sure I necessarily need that level of performance on this one.

    Thanks in advance.

    The majority of the aftermarket suspension parts are going to be a lowering spring or have an aggressive spring rate - if you're not interested in lowering or sport tuning; get an OEM replacement to save on a genuine part.

    Thanks for the response. Pelican is usually my first stop, but I did not see any OEM parts for sport suspensions. I think the factory sport tuning is just fine, so I don't want to "downgrade" with standard OEM (non-M-sport) parts. Do you have any part suggestions for front and rear springs and struts?
