I am sorry you have had that experience with gc. I have also just gotten my suspension from ground control and have had no squeeks rattles or any problems. In fact, I am extremely happy with the kit(everything was just like yours including shock mounts). I dealt with jay for the whole construction of the kit. He is the BMW specialist and the owner of gc. you may want to call him.

btw what spring rates did you get?
I am running 400 in front 450 in back.

Good Luck,

Finally, I got my GC suspension (GC coilover+konis sport+GC rear shock mount)intalled...again with all the right parts, I hope. I went for a test drive and my first impression is rattle noise on the front and squeaky noise on right rear.
I think rattling noise on the front is due to the adjustable sleeves did not fit tight on the strut. GC did send me some O-ring to fit between them but it was too thick. I talk with Tony at GC and he insisted me to use masking tape around the strut so the adjustable sleeves will slide on tight. I did that and it still making noise. Squeaky noise on the rear sound like when the shock compressed, it make the noise.
Anyone have any solutions for my problems please post. I just don't want to live with these noises and if there is no solution, I may get rid of the GC coilover and get something like H&R sport springs.
Thanks
