Rear suspension KAPUT

Well a quick £££ spent on the cesil today.
Broke a spring last weekend when out on a jolly up over Speyside. No surprise really given they have the strength of warm chocolate but things got a whole load worse during the week.
My 77000 mile dampers decided to call it a day as well so the car quickly had the handling of a balloon in a bath

About a week ago I contemplated going down the Bilstein route but decided standard is probably best for the car due to the fact I have the race car for all that sort of stuff.

So a quick call to the local dealers on Tues and ordered up all I needed. Call came in yesterday to say it was here so today I spent a couple of hrs and freshened the rear up.

Not a lot there for the money really but at least it looks nice.

The culprit, sickening really that it still has the paper label attached

So everything off and ready for the skip

New stuff on so all quiet in the rear now. Picking up backing plates from BMW tomorrow as the front O/S has decided to detach from the bolts so its rattling around.
Sitting in garages really does not do these things any good.
