I need to replace my rear shocks soon (I can hear one side knocking it's so bad), but at the moment I don't have the money to buy Racing Dynamics springs or new front shocks (replaced in '04) like I'd like to do. I know you can mix shocks as long as they're the same side-to-side, but since my car's not being lowered when they're installed, do Bilsteins need anything special done to them once I actually got lowering springs? I plan on getting E46 M3 Cabrio shock mounts, the Z3 shock mount reinforcements (51 71 8 413 359), and the BavAuto shock installation kit (SIKR E30--not quite sure it's necessary, but it's only $11).
Basically I just want to know if having the Bilsteins this early is going to be a problem later on? If so, I'll just get the regular rear shocks for cheaper. My grand plan (hopefully by the beginning of next year) is for Racing Dynamics springs, Racing Dynamics sway bar kit (maybe), AutoWerks rear sway bar reinforcement kit, Bilstein Sport or Touring shocks, and Ronal LS or Konig Remember wheels. Any tips or thoughts on that whole thing as it pertains to this would be appreciated.
Since I want to keep a good ride, would Bilstein Tourings be a better choice? Thanks for the responses--sorry the topic's all over the place.
