The rest is exactly the same as an e46, this guide is all you need for the front. http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/8...replacing-oem/
The rears you just need the e-torx sockets to unbolt one end of the shock, unhook the sway bar's top link (18mm) and lower the control arm to remove the spring. reinstall the spring and use a jack to raise the control arm to tighten the shock and sway bar mount. |
Thanks! Can't wait to hear how it goes. Will probably order my springs in a week or so.
