More than likely they are stock....so upgrade!  |
^^What he said!
I think rear subframe bushings probably should be your next upgrade. Some people find the Koni FSD shocks to be too "soft" and end up going with Koni "yellows". I guess depending on your shock's condition would dictate what your next mod will be.
IF you do go with the M3/1M rear subframe bushings... I would also replace all six brake hoses with DOT approved stainless steel brake lines - bc you have to drop the rear axle to install the M3 bushings. .
Also for anyone with a e8x/e9x car... read this article in Bimmer Magazine...
