MCS rear upper shock mounts options

I'm about ready to install my MCS coilovers and I am wondering what are folks using for the rear upper mounts?

SYT_Shadow Richbot , ///MPower15



I currently have powerflex RSM but it looks like it only replaces hybrid of A and C? My Powerflex mount didn't include any washers.

Do I still use B and D? I have EDC so I assume I need to order B and C from a non-EDC 12mm shaft.

Thanks guys

Bimmerworld recommended the black powerflex RSMs.

Once piece going into the bottom of the car and the other mates with it from the top.

Like everything BW has recommended I have no complaints!

I used stock. But iirc its a 12mm instead of 10mm shaft so it needs the edc mounts (too big iirc?) or drilled non-edc mounts (what I did)

ah good point

There is a specific RSM for each shaft diameter, it isn't a one size fits all

To update this situation:

I must've ordered the wrong powerflex mounts. Phil @ Bimmerworld sorted it out for me.

The 10mm kit I received does not included washers.
The right 12mm kit I received does include washers.


EDC is 14mm shaft so none of it would've made sense using OE.
