325ic rear shock mounts

[Jean]

Are these as good as it gets before going aftermarket?

My right rear oem one failed today after 3 years of use, not too bad considering about half that time were with 650lb/inch rear springs...

PN 33521132104 , or is there a better one to use?

personally I'm a fan of TC Kline with the rubber inserts.

I'll look into those, thanks!

Btw, from all the pictures of the rear mount failures i've seen it seems like the shock goes through the mount...mine did the opposite, it went down?! wtf.

[nando]

mine never completely failed, they were just quite mushy. with 700lb rear springs I really didn't want to find out though.

Yep, makes for some uncomfortable handling that's for sure.
