Shocks and Brakes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello all. My '99 E39 Touring has nearly 80,000 on the clock and lately i've noticed the ride quality has dropped and the slightest bump is noisy and jarring. My tyres are Conti's but may be slightly a harder compound, i'm not sure how to tell. Also the brakes have started to judder when slowing from high speed, if you ease off and then reapply pressure they improve without juddering. Any advice where to purchase new Shocks. i.e GSF or ECP. or even if its more cost effective to go for a better standard like Bilstein, and what else would need replacing too. Are after market discs and pads any good or is a trip to the main stealer needed, and would i need specialist equipment to change shocks.   Many thanks in advance.     Mike
