Rear upper shock mounts?

[Brian7]

Found my stock ones are poop, I have the infamous clunk over bumps. Car has Bilstein shocks and some brand of lowering spring and the car is my DD. I don't want solid mount because I like the comfort level. Are OEM upper shock mounts my best bet even though they won't last? Couldn't I just get some poly bushings for the stock (Bilstein?) mounts and grease the hell out of them? I'd like bushings to last and be quiet, is there such thing? :D

Turner lifetime mounts. Wear them out, send them in for replacement.

The stock replacement design is flawed - you can look up the info explaining why.
Solid/poly/reinforced/whatever isn't going to add noise, bad vibes, or discomfort!
What the guy above me said is a good option as well as many other aftermarket pieces.

Ive bought OEM shock mounts from the dealer. In fact bought E46 convertible ones. Changed them in parking lot and blew them one out two blocks later....
After market FTW

I got the Bimmerworld ones with the reinforcement plates. Probably the same as the non-race Turner ones, I don't know. But they look and cost the same.

Ride comfort and noise hasn't changed.

Got it, any kind of OEM = bad I was eyeing the bimmerworld ones since they are only $40 and lifetime warranty :-D

you probably put them in wrong. I ran E46 RSMs for years without issue as have many other people.

Someone forgot the conical washers that face away from the rubber portion of the mount.

I brought Mayle e46 ones, They said they were pretty good and are going in e30ix, Won't be as harsh on them as some of super low e30's. My other e30 has ground control RSM and they seem to be made pretty solid. I would go aftermarket if your really low. Just my thoughts and get brand name ones too.
