Should I replace my shocks?

[_BSMM5]

I'm at 89k miles, car has been lowered for the last 10k..

Is it time to replace the shocks? I have EDC, should I go with OEM or some aftermarket?

How can I tell if the shocks are going out? The ride is a bit bumpy and jolting for sure on sport + but not awful on comfort. Would be nice to compare to a newer M3.

There is a set of OEM EDC shocks that are nearly new for $700 for sale right now in the classifieds.

Yes, of course, you should at about 60k even when you haven't lowered.

Why do you say that? I don't think many people replace their shocks at 60k miles. I'm at about 67k miles and my car rides fine. I am not lowered though so that certainly changes things.

There’s a set of lightly used kw ddc for 2500. I’d get that, or bilstein b16 damptronic is getting into the semi affordable range. I’m getting mine installed August 5, will post review.

I have a 2017 m4 comp pack. I've read different issues and solutions for the clicking sound , I'm on Dinan springs , so thought that might be it , took it to Budds bmw , who did the work , tech heard the sound and did this fix for it , I've attached the paper work. The Steering wheel feels stiffer, but so far no clicking sound . It still slightly pulls to the right , will have to take that in . I will continue to monitor , but hope this solve my clicking problem . As I know others are still trying to solve there's.

Thanks for the info... but clicking is not the issue.

I'm realizing that if the shocks were wearing out I would be experiencing a bouncy ride, Which I'm not at this point so I might just leave the shocks. I'm not sure how much better it could be as they already feel quite firm.

I think the P.O. was on coilovers for some time so I may not have the mileage I think I do on them.
