Thanks brother pinguhk, that price is for one only or one set?

BTW. already got that plastic thingy installed on the springs, there is a difference, although not as obvious as after the sway bars.
the spark plus is about $25us each

congrats installing the rubber in the spring.
they funtion to make the shocks last longer and a tiny bit harden on the springs not much.

depends on which one you get actually and the good ones are not cheap.

HOOD
Stock (Al): 10.20 kg (22.47 lbs)
http://bmwfans.info/original/E92/Cou...1/ill-41_1611/
Ericsson CF hood: 12.54 lbs
Cost: $6400
Weight savings: 9.93 lbs
cost/benefit: $645/lb
http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com...il.php?ID=6422
but this is for a e9x and the bonnet is not aluminium like our e60 so I dont know if the cf will be lighter but I know it will be stronger
