E36 Rear Shock Mount

[Crymson]

It is said that the factory BMW rear shock mounts are generally a little soft and are not strong enough to withstand the rigours of aftermarket suspension, or even badly damaged roads. A decent sized pothole can send a perfectly good factory rear shock mount to pop out, making it entirely useless necessitating replacement. What are suitable rear shock mount options available - M3, UUC, RE? I heard most people upgrade to the E46 M3 rear mounts, does it guarantee that it can withstand the punishment our shocks take from our road daily?

Try aftermarket polyurethane ones. They seem to last longer than stock.

Custome made one pillow mount style.

Flash has it in his car. Last a life time. Talk to the TITAN people.
