Why is there a restocking fee?

Well the first reason is that it was in the terms and conditions on checkout. However there is a better reason.  Honest companies charge restocking fees for a very simple reason: to keep costs (and thus prices for you) down when dealing with the return of items that are not defective. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order. If you buy something and then return it, there is more costs to handle the return.

All returns must be thoroughly inspected when received back at the warehouse to ensure they are in 100% resalable condition. New packaging materials usually need to be utilized because it is typically only designed to be used two times (initial use and possible return shipment). Time and materials involved inspecting, repackaging and restocking are not insignificant. The bottom line is restocking fees help keep prices low for you!  

For this reason we do not accept returns on any used or previously installed products. We will not sell used products to our customers who are expecting brand new Garagistic parts. At times we may have to charge a higher restocking fee on a return if the parts are damaged during the return shipping. It is your responsibility to ensure the safe arrival of the parts you are returning to us. Thanks!

 

BMW E30 REAR SHOCK REINFORCEMENT KIT

Overview

BMW sheet metal at the top of the rear shock towers in E30, E36 and E46 BMW cars are a well-known weak point. The metal tends to tear over time, especially if stiffer shocks are used. This is really cheap insurance to not need to repair shock mounts in the future which is known to be costly. There is a reason BMW sells replacement shock tower replacements (41148169028) that need to be welded in. AVOID ALL OF THAT WITH THESE.

These Garagistic reinforcement rear shock tower plates are made from 1/8" steel (that's 11 gauge, some of the thickest units on the market today). They can be welded in or used as-is. These come unpainted/uncoated so you can paint to match your car.

Its a very "bolt-on and go" solution, and are precision machined out of a heavier metal to withstand the abuse of racing and lowering. Designed to fit on top of the factory shock mount (inside the trunk). It will distribute the load over a larger area to prevent failure. It can also be used to repair already damaged towers. Set of two which is enough to do E30s, E36s, E46s and Z3s.

Price is for a pair (2 units). Enough to do 1 car.

Its a good idea to use a little blue Loctite on the 2 bolts to make sure they don't get loose! This is the version we recommend: https://amzn.to/3MWIUlO

Step 3: Once bolts are removed go ahead and place your garagistic rear shock mount reinforcement plates in place.

Step 4: Reinstall the 4 nuts with a dap of blue loctite and torque to 13ft-lbs and reinstall the trunk liner. This is the version we recommend: https://amzn.to/3MWIUlO


** These can be professionally welded in if your strut tower has started cracking**
