What coilovers do you recommend for a 330d ?

I have a 330d SE E90 with a offside heavily leaking rear damper/shock absorber. I also need to have all four wheels aligned and the steering wheel position sensor re-calibrated.

I'm also thinking now is a good time to just buy some coilovers.

Could you nice people please recommend me a brand / set of coilovers that gives a good quality of ride and a garage in the Herts, Beds, Bucks, London area who come highly recommended and can carry out all this work at a reasonable price ?

If you're looking for a fit and forget kit check out the bilstein b12 pro kit. Used this for my 1 series and was a good alround kit. Not too hard or too low and good value.

Thanks for the suggestion Adam.

Is that it ?

Anywhere I can get this for under £500 or is that wishful thinking ?

Just fitted the B12 kit, including M3 control arms to my car. Difference is night and day! Much more balanced in the corners. Feels very planted. A little harder than stock, however I like it so far...

That's the one. I managed to get mine from German eBay a couple of years ago for £400ish ... albeit with a better exchange rate though.

Search on Google and I'm sure you will find it for £500ish easy.

What sort of prices would I be looking to pay to have it fitted by a garage ?

When I was looking for quotes most garages were asking between £35-£50 per corner.

I would recommend doing top mounts and rear lower mounts while having it fitted to get the most out of the labour and fresh suspension.
