Hi all,
My self-levelling suspension needs replacing, I've priced it locally and it's about 1/4 the cost of the vehicle just for the parts (pair shocks). Has anyone changed their suspension to standard shocks and what was the loss in ride quality? How long do the self-levelling shocks last once they are renewed? I tend to feel that you don't buy this type of car to remove the high class suspension but the costs are quite prohibitive in my case. What are peoples thoughts.
Guys,
Thanks for your input. The shocks are leaking but still working fine, no loss of ride quality. The reservoir only needs topping up once every month or so, so it's not too bad. I figure it'll need doing in the next 12 months. Trying to work ut my options.
Shogun; I'll get back to you with more info about the EDC and E32/E38 specs. Work is taking a lot of my time at the moment. I'm in Sydney, Australia by the way.
AllGo'n'Show; the accumulators are the bulb shaped things the size of your fist located just in front of the rear axles.
