What rear shock mounts?

[Digitalwave]

H&R Sports are really soft. Anyways, it doesn't matter much. It would be the shock that matters more than the spring, and Bilstein Sports aren't very stiff either.

Jrowe - Dude! If you blew threw your RSMs in 4 days- most likely you didn't install the bottom U-shaped disk. I wasted a set of e46 mounts that blew out one in an hour, and the other after a few days... but after putting those little disks on the bottom - they are nice and solid.

Some of the beefier shock mounts can take not having that U-shaped disk there--but I wouldnt risk it. You can get the disk from the dealer ..

Preparation:




Step 1 (putting on the rubber bumpstop)




Step 2 (putting on the U-shaped disk upside down--it
stops on the shock since there is a notch on the shaft)





Step 3 (what it looks like once you put the shock mount,

upper disk, and nut on it--this is if you run it without dustcovers)





Step 3 - closeup shot





I chose to install dusctovers..



Step 4 - to install the dustovers, dissamble, and now put that

bottom disk inside the top of the tube







Step 5 - so that it looks like this!




Step 6 - put on the shock mount, cardboard gasket, then ram

it up from the bottom in the wheel well as follows:





and then with the dustcover on it will look like this---



you can see the gasket there --and the inverted U-shaped

disk is there inside the dustcover, underneath the bottom

of the shock mount, distributing the pressure..
