To all suspension refresh members is there a comprehensive kit including bump stops, shock and or strut mounts I can buy that will come with everything? The ones I have seen dont have both front and rear, and I dont know what all I need. Thanks

Check FCP Euro, they have kits for shock/strut replacement, and also kits to replace suspension arms as well.

+1 on FCP.

Getting a full kit is smart as they include all the bolts etc you need, so you don't have to run to dealership for a $3 bolt every second day as you disassemble stuff.

I carefully checked the needed FCP bits and then sourced the parts instead from Rock Auto and saved $$ during a recent rear suspension refresh. I also found the best Bilstein prices from Summit Racing.

I just refreshed the rear last week and bought the kit from FCPEuro, it arrived within a week and was well packaged.

First off thanks for taking the time to help. I got on FCP euro I just wished they had a chat feature I can ask to ask the staff. Is there anyway you could share a link to the kit you bought please sir? Thats where im treading water not knowing which one to get because I have not seen one that indicates fitment for all 4 corners. Ive seen one that say like rear upper, could I just get 4 of those and it hope it covers both front and back and both sides of the axle. Not sure if you noticed but this is my first rodeo in the suspension catagory.

Yea I noticed today I was looking at engine mounts, and Bimmerworld beat the pants off of FCP euro with their engine mount prices big time. Same exact OEM brand and part number yet significantly cheaper.....But the problem with Bimmerworld is youll place an order, and shortly after you get an email from support saying we will have that part soon and as soon as we do well ship it, yet when you purchase it, its in stock. They take your order and it will just sit there for a week at idle, they are not the best at expediting. FCP euro is on top of their game, indeed. And dont even get me started on ECS tuning, it doesnt matter what you order you can expect it to arrive in 3-4 weeks. Ive completely washed my hands of them.

As Mike K says above, RockAuto will have best prices and quick shipping.
They will not have any hardware that doesn't come with parts though.

FCP responds to email quickly. Their prices have gone up, especially for international shipping.

And yes, ECS had kits too, but long lead time.
