Need advice on failing rear suspension--'88M6 (archive)

Posted by SteveW on February 24, 2001 at 20:36:15:

The rear suspension on my '88 M6 has progressively been getting worse; & from reading the archives here it looks like I should get rid of the self-leveling & have Bilsteins or Konis (or Boges) installed instead. My question is, what type of shocks are best for everday urban/surburban (not all that aggressive) driving? Ride quality is probably as important to me as handling. Also, what else should I have my mechanic replace (if anything) while this is being done?

My M6 also has the front end shimmey problem so I need to have the front bushings replaced, etc. Anything I should be thinking about while having that done so that front & rear suspensions are well matched?

Thanks for any advice! I've owned this car for 8 years but it's been pretty pampered so I'm just starting to learn about a lot of this.....(and everything is completely stock so far).
