Mtech suspension?
 

Did the Sport Ti's come with Mtech shocks?

They were Boge brand, and I believe they had a different part number, but they suck anyway.

The rears last only about 30K miles, and the struts are not too far behind...

I think the Sport shocks were Boge "Turbos", whereas the normal ti shocks were something else in the Boge line.

My Bilstein HD's are going in tomorrow (I'll post pictues), so I can't wait to see how bad the old ones are. I think they're still original at 134,500 miles! oops :)

Cirrus,

Could you take pics of before and after the Bilsteins go in. I'd like to see if your ride height changes. The Bilsteins are gas pressurized, and there are reports of Bilsteins raising your ride height.

I just put in Koni Sports, and I'm very pleased with the results. For whatever reason, I'm in the minority with Koni's. Almost everyone else swears by Bilstein. Probably equal build quality, but different stroke for different folks.

Absolutely I will! , It's actually on my list of things to do, as I'm very interested in this as well. I plan to take some fairly accurate before and after ride-height measurements.

I have the factory sport package springs too BTW.

I have Bilsteins (they came on my car when purchased), but I'd rather have Konis. Better rebound dampening and adjustability mean a lot. If anything, I would like my Bilstein Sports to be a tad stiffer.

I have a 98 Ti with the M-Tech package......I assume that means I have the M-tech Susp??? Also if I buy Koni's, I heard somewhere that you have to buy a M-tech shock???? does that sound right??

There is a version of the Koni SA Sport shock designed to work with the M-tech or other lowered spring setups. So, yes, you need the "M-tech" version. FYI, Greg at SEAM BMW (mss318ti on this board) has great prices on Konis. I got a set of the Mtech sport Koni SA's for $497 shipped. If you are interested, I would send him a message.

Sweet....Thanks for the info
