Just wondering about something for those that have tweaked their suspensions.. Did you also replace the rear shock mounts? I've read articles about the rear shock mounts getting worn down when you put on different (read: stiffer) shocks and springs. Does the same apply to us also? I've been thinking about getting some H&R Springs and Bilstein shocks and would like to do all this at once rather than have to go back in 10,000 miles later after the shock mounts are ground down. Thanks.

When I switched my shocks to single adjustable Konis the mechanic showed me the wear on the BMW rubber mounts. I went with the Ground Control aluminum mounts, at $150 it's a good base for your planned suspension mods. You'll never have to worry about it again.
