Owner reviews for strut assembly

I put h&r sport springs with standard Bilstein struts on my touring a few months ago

Sits mabye a hair lower than a stock non-xi car

Should be a pic in my history if you want to take a look

H&r springs, Bilstein struts & shocks

That’s what I have on my 325xi

KYB Struts are a goos choice but it wount be that cheap, altho its really worth it.

Just bought some KYB quick struts from Rock Auto and they are spectacular. Insanely easy install as well.

I used KYB. They are the OEM supplier now since Tokico is not around. I bought mine through Rockauto. They frequently have rebates. I didn't buy the complete strut assemblies. I just bought the struts and purchased OEM springs seats, bearings, bellows etc.

Get bilstein struts. Suples springs. Lemforder bushings. Lemforder tie rods and ball joints.

The rear hatch started to randomly pause while opening and closing, I would have to give it a hand assist to open and close it. I lubricated the struts and so far so good, it has been operating smoothly.

The Str.T is fine for a mild upgrade over OE. I've had them on my car for about 10 years now. I live in Texas, so rust is not an issue. However , if I were doing it all over again, I would spend more for the Koni Sport (Yellow), as I think the Str.T is a touch softer than I would have preferred.

Although KYB makes good quality OEM struts as well as good quality bare strut *cartridges*, their preassembled Strut-Plus aftermarket line use lower quality components and aren't very good... Specifically the top strut bearings are problematic on their Strut-Plus preassembled struts,I really wouldn't recommend them.

I’ve had enough bad experiences with Monroe that I won’t use them on any vehicle.
