Adjustable Front Top Mounts
My M5 has failed it's MOT on a rear strut badly leaking and a cracked coil. I am going to replace the whole lot with some coilovers. The ones i am looking at don't come with top mounts.

Is anyone currently rnning adjustable top mounts?

I have a set on my M3 and if the PCD of the mountng nuts are the same i will use these as the M3 is not running at the moment.

Need to get these ordered by tomorrow at the latest so i can fit the suspension at the weekend.

I will need to temporarily block off the SLS until i can remove all the pipe work.

I'm sure that I'd have a rear sls shock with spring for you Toby , as it seems a shame to ditch the whole set up .

I know, but i want to lower the front end. Also the front and other shock may need doing too, so if i replace all for with new shocks and springs then it will be a fresh setup.

What price for the shock?
