Strut/shock advice needed 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Tue Mar 26 06:21 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have a 1995 850 (5 speed) with 110,000 on it. I put Bilstins on around 75K and have been 100% sastisfied. It might stiffin the ride ever so slightly but the difference in handling is unbelievable. This did the trick and I have no intentions of changing springs etc. They are really really great.

As for Cost, I paid about $1000 for labor and the Bilstins. Not cheap but like I said I am 150% satisfied.

Best of luck. P.S. make sure they check the top rubber mounts when they replace. These often wear out and it is a quick fix if they have the struts out, but it would really suck to have new struts put in and then have these things were out. If they do, your struts will "clunk" when going over bumps
