Hello everyone,

So my cars rear shock is worn out and I’m thinking of spending a little bit extra and upgrading for sporty ones. Will upgrading the rear ones cause any problems if I don’t do the front until the summer or a bit later?
Also any good UK websites to buy dampers for a bmw 320 e90 lci.

I did a full front and rear upgrade on an E90 330i a few years back now. Doing it in stages isn't going to be ideal but it won't be dangerous either, but I would advise to budget for new top and bottom rubbers for the rear shocks and top-mounts for the front. The lower rear mounts in particular will be totally shot if they have never been replaced and it is a false economy to put them back if you are taking the whole thing apart.
