Remove front struts - Torque required please

Hi,Backs are easy as to do best to undo inside top mounts first !,The hardest part is getting in the parcel shelf. will have a goggle to see what you have fitted
Cheers

Thanks. It does look easy for the backs. I didn't take a picture when the wheels were off so you can see, but I will try. It is just a nice shiny yellow strut Might have to paint the calipers red to make it fancy hehehe. The Bilsteins are just a straight swap like doing OEM that's why I chose them. I did hours worth of research to get to this conclusion hence publishing the part numbers to save some other poor bugger the grief.

Hi. Neither! I got the Bilstein B8 PRO [for sports suspension]. They went on pretty easy, look great, and feel awesome. I have ordered the rears just today with the rear top mounts as well.

For reference purposes, if you have the ///M sports suspension such as on the 3.0i versions you get these:
Bilstein B8s
front right is 35-044031
front left is 35-044024
rears is 24-023863

Cheers,

Put these on my M, good shocks

Success! All back together and the car drives totally different! The breaker bar made the job easy along with the encouragement of course!

Do I need to get a front wheel alignment? It feels perfect.??????

Cheers,

I would definitely recommend you get the alignment checked/adjusted mate.
