Sport package shock mounts vs non sports

pocoyo_3 · 05-29-2013, 12:03 AM

Does anyone know if the Sports package shock mounts are different to the non-sports package? I recently had my front shocks and mounts replaced and I'm convinced that my car is riding higher afterwards. It's a 2006 325i with the sports package and I did replace the OEM shocks with Bilstein HD's and I also replaced the mounts at the time.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I wonder if my installer put in the wrong ones. Does anyone have comparison pics between the two?

I believe the non-sport upper shock mounts are a tad taller (maybe 3/8" or so) than the sport mounts. I didn't have mine side by side, but the non-sport pieces appeard to be aluminum and were lighter than the sport pieces.
