Hi All,

Thanks for replying to my fs ad.

How about $160.00, including shipping any where in the USA?

Shipping to Canada would cost a total of $180.00.

I have the original invoice. You will need to have some remaining BMW warranty on your car for the Dinan coverage to be effective.

V. B. I don't know what the Koni warranty is? Would you like to research the Koni warranty by contacting the Koni web site?

I will also toss in the Koni adjusting knob and adjusting instructions along with the install instructions.

Thanks

There are no rears for sale.

You can purchase rear shocks from Dinan or Koni.

so does this have a lifetime warranty?

[BAADDOG]

I don't think there is any warranty beyond what Dinan offers.

i;m in the process of having my front shock replace under warranty. they(TCK) said lifetime warranty on Konis but has to be with the car, so dont know if warranty is void if sold

On the Dinan site it states that these are for 96-99. You say it will work for 95? Is there a differrence? Also what is the difference between small and standard, sized strut inserts?

Thanks for the link to Dinan.

I miss spoke on the fit for a 1995 M3. Duh! Sometimes I get drop outs and forget whats what. I will have to correct my ad. Oy vey.

The inserts sometimes called a cartridge fit inside the strut. Unlike the rear shocks.

The sizes for a small and large are due to BMW AG installing 2 different sized diameters of struts on early production models. Sometimes on the same car. Omfgad!

Bom, the OEM strut insert is a "Boge" and good for only about 35k miles. They have to be replaced much too soon for a M3!

Here is a link to the Dinan site for a photo of the suspension system, including the front inserts, http://www.dinanbmw.com/default.htm

You can do each adjustment at the top of the shock tower easily and takes about 30 seconds.

External adjustment with Koni adjusting knob included with adjusting and install instructions.

About 2 1/2 turns from full soft to full hard. Being able to exacute a high speed F1 turn in with the precision of eye surgery.

Is that what you need for your M3? Alright then, the Dinans are for you.
