- Thanks to our good friends at NineStitch www.ninestitch.com, we now have upgraded, comfortable, and easily adjustable seats. In this video, we take out the seats, separate the halves, remove the old shocks, creatively compress and install the new shocks, and almost break my hand!
Take a look yourself @ninestitch and get a set!

Great to see, these seemingly little changes wil get you smiling even more in your E30. Smart way of presetting the shock to the right dimension and keep working save in the process. Keep it up (litteraly)
Haha, I saw that hand slip coming, OUCH
nice for the info ...now i know how to pull the seat up ....thanx a billion ....btw feel ur pain as a mechanic
Your videos are always so informative.
Great vid,didn't know about the seat shocks, thanks Frank.
Thank you Frank, that was impressive.
Amazing diy. Great alternative to e30 seat upgrade.
Having the same problem with getting the shocks compress but thanks for the video
Well done tutorial!
good to know about this option. last I checked it was like $400 bucks to replace all 8! I'll definitely go this route when the time comes!
Awesome video Frank!! I enjoy every one of them!! I still don't get why you don't have more subs!
That's awesome video! Many thanks!!!!
Hope it helped!!
Pretty dangerous repair Frank. Didn't know these do exist! Think they will sell out very quickly, haha. And finally, we saw the wife behind the CZcamsr, kind of ;-) Dutch regards and have a nice weekend.
There’s a tool to push the piston down, well worth getting, even I’ve struggled to get it on and that with scratching it a lot
Can you please share the source for this tool?

Can totally sympathize with a busted knuckle. Good work frank.
Nice steering wheel
Gr8t video thank you.
OUCH!!! Good to know I’m not the only one who injures themselves all the time! Well, at least you don’t have the Comfort Seats like I do 😂
Wow thanks, wondering why my tilt seat has so much slop when trying to tilt the seat back, it completely drops into like a bed. 6:42 was worried when you did that was expecting something bad to happen.
Hey Garageaholic
Thanks for this informative video. Any other place to get these shocks. Currently ninestitch have non. Thx once again for the vid
I love my e30 but any DIY I do I do with such fear of brittle bits breaking.
The original bottom ones are 500N and seat back 350N
Lol. I am trying to find these shocks for like 1 month. Now in 2 days I will have my custom-made. By the way I live in Greece and even from Germany I couldn't find them(or they don't ship them)
They are available on Amazon.de for around 20€ per piece. They’re OEM (Stabilus). Here’s the part: Stabilus 252794 Gas Spring, seat backrest Adjustment. Already installed mine and couldn’t be happier. Cheers
Seems like they are so strong that once it pushes out, some people's body weight may not push them back in.
Hallo sir, thank you for the video. Btw, do you know the length of those shocks?
They are the length of the stock shocks. Not sure on actual dimension
What kind of aftermarket sport seats would you do on an e31? I want something without all the electronics, just reclinability. But I still would like to have butt warmers 😆. It's hard to go with something simple because of the integrated seatbelt.
I'd go with a nice set of recaro's or corbeau's. Those are quality seats that have the basic functions. You can always add heating elements to them later, under the lining of the seat skin!
6:20 I'm not that safety nazi. But, GLASSES!
Always appreciate the reminders!
My seat won’t recline, what would cause this?
I have the same seats
I’d take apart your seat and see that the cable is not connected anymore
I took off the side covers and lubed the moving parts and it started to work
The shocks are shot, at least it’s working now, thanks 🙏🏼 for the video bro
@@tave9011 did you have to remove the seats to get the side covers off?
@@stephenwhite5444 I already had them out to lay the carpet, sadly the car is sold and gone
No disrespect but @8:57 was the dumbest thing you could of done
Live and learn
how stupid design is this. i have old bmw and old benz. day by day i see how benz has more quality and smart solutions compared to bmw. such a shame
What specifically! It ain’t that bad once you’ve done it once
