Question about Powerflex rear upper mount

e679 · 04-02-2013, 12:02 PM

I have ordered AST 5100 with M3 rear damper, I wondered which Powerflex rear upper mount should I order. 10mm or 12mm? Please give me some advise. Thanks

It depends if your AST shocks are for cars with or without EDC. With EDC- 12mm, without EDC =10mm.

I've never heard of Ast's damper with EDC function, but no mine's are not equip with EDC.

Since the shocks are M3 fitment, you need to know what they are supposed to fit. Obviously your car does not have EDC, it was only offered on M3s. It's probably 10mm, but it's best to verify that with your vender first before ordering the top mount you want. Might be worth looking at the Dinan upper rear shock mounts too. They're about $100 I'm pretty sure and they increase suspension travel, which is great for lowered cars. Again, you'll need to know if the rear ASTs are 10 or 12mm.

Oh, now I understand. Thought that I can order everything to minimize waiting time. Well, guess there is no short cut.
Thank you very much for your help.
