Changing RSM's and Shocks on my e36 M3
Any suggestions for nifty picture heavy "how to" guides ????

I've changed shocks years ago on one of my Fords so I'm hoping this will be as easy....I've ordered rear shocks (oem replacement Boge shox ) and Ground Control RSM's....I have one "how to" which says first take out the rear deck stereo speakers ????then remove the old rear shocks.....

I'm only doing the rear shox to eliminate a rubbing/creaking sound audible at low speeds coming from the back of the car (I assumed this was the RSM's going bad, a common problem with M3's I believe).....I'll wait to replace the front struts...or should they all be replaced at the same time ???
