Top mounts, springs and things

[CuppaTea]

Anyone used Bilstein rear top mounts? Any good?

Could have sworn I read that 320ix top mounts can be used on the front shocks. Apparently a bit tougher?

Can M sport springs be used if your car wasn't originally equipped with them?

How do I find out what my car was fitted with? Both suspension and options if possible please.

Cheers

Rear top mounts are a couple of steel washers and a rubber tap washer. Anyone can make them!

Google for VIN decoders to get a breakdown of how your car left the factory.

Nothing to stop you fitting sport bits. Nominally the shocks differ but I've got standard shocks with sport springs and it's fine.

I have had Bilstein rear top mounts fitted about 4k miles ago and they have been absolutely fine. No complaints so far.
