what rsm's is everyone running?
seeing as how i am getting lowering springs (finally) and i have a set of bilstiens sitting in my garage all i need now is my rsm's. i was thinking either ground control or jt designs. should i consider getting the z3 rear reinforcement plates? should i replace my front strut bearings too?

IE's billet RSMs include the Z3 plates...

I'm on GC's.

E46 M3.

how much do the OEM setups (e46, e36 convertible, whatever) setups cost?

[aaron_silva]

I think stock setup runs around $50-60. I will be using GC (bit pricey) but I am getting everything else from there.

Try price via your local dealer or use zionsvilleautosport, pelican parts, eurasian, BMA and the likes for comparison.

I am running the e46 RSM with the Z3 reinforcement plate. So far they have held up tight.

wow, 95% of you are running RSM's way overkill for your suspension setups. :roll:

Stock will work fine if you're on a budget.
Dont forget new paper gaskets.

I run stock RSM with my H&R sport & bilstien sport setup. And i have about 60lbs of audio equiment in my car, and i don' think they broke yet. but i do have lukas rear stress bar with the reinforcements. i've been driving likt this for over 30k aready and i had these mounts wheni first brougth my car which is at least 60k ago and i have no problems.

E46 rear shock mount. They are much beefier than the stock e30 cabrio units, but aren't as pricey as the Ground Control mounts. Although to be fair, Jay (at Ground Control) makes a bitchin mount that should last forever.
