Hey all,

I finally ordered springs for the 228i and I'll probably swap them in the weekend after next.

I'm wondering if any of the bolts involved are stretch bolts and should be replaced. I'm going to order replacements for all the self-locking nuts, but I'm not sure if I should also be replacing any bolts when I do the work.

Can anyone confirm either way?

Thanks!

No stretch bolts. You should be able to safely re-use all the hardware that is removed, but replacing the self locking nuts is insurance.

Good to know, thanks!

All the nuts involved cost a total of about $13, so the piece of mind per dollar is quite high.
