The Öhlins Road & Track suspension kit for the BMW M3 (E9X) is designed to use the OEM mounts. Unless your vehicle has less than 30k miles, you will likely want to install your new suspension kit with fresh new mounts. 3DM has put together a kit with all the necessary parts to be able to put your kit together ahead of time on a bench top making installation to your vehicle easier.

*We use urethane mounts instead of the original OEM mounts. The OEM rear upper mounts are a porous elastomer material susceptible to the elements and require a boot. Urethane mounts resist the elements well and do not require the original factory boot making install easier. In addition, The Öhlins Road & Track suspension kit comes with 10mm top pins for the rear damper. E9X M3s had EDC dampers with 12mm shafts. The urethane mounts we include are for 10mm shafts which do not require all the special adapters to retrofit a 10mm top pin to a 12mm mount. This makes for a cleaner install as well. Lastly, the OEM is very weak. The urethane mounts have plenty of compliance to keep NVH to a minimum while allowing the damper to do more of its job controlling the suspension.
