Choosing rear coil springs
I purchased a 2005 X3 3.0. It has 2 issues, both seem common to this truck.
I am trying to tackle the easy one first: Replacement of the rear coil springs. I would like to buy a pair of springs that most closely duplicates the OEM ride without paying $175 a side for the part.
The price range seems to be any where from about $60 for the no name brand to $90 to $120 for the Suplex/Lesjofors. I read a lot about Chinese steel and German made . . .
I am wondering what he consensus is regarding these parts. Which parts are best to duplicate the OEM ride and easiest for the DIY guy?
On a related note what parts house is best for this BMW? For my domestic vehicles I have had great success with Parts Geek, they have the Lesjofors for 109.99 and the Suplex for 93.90 with free UPS ground.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
