    328 Cabriolet Suspension OEM or Aftermarket

    Ok so we're into keeping it and making it cherry again.

    I am not a mod but a BOX STOCKER; therefore aside from Bilsteins and springs I'm looking at all these aftermarket "kits" for suspensions (tie rods etc); versus going to BMW and getting new OEM. After all the OEM is still functioning after 200K + miles and 20 years

    We will not be running it on a track or doing tricks with the old lady; just nice long leisure runs at 90 mph all day which she does very nicely now,, just a bit tired in the rubber suspension stuffing areas.

    SO what experiences have folks had from these suspension kits? Back in the day A LOT of aftermarket stuff was pure junk after the 30 day warranty was up ?????????

    It's a 325i.... sorry all bad typest

    i didnt buy a kit, i just piece it together through different companies.

    i would do OEM for things like tie rod ends, but for suspension i would go with aftermarket stiffer stuff.
