    Damn....I replaced my failed BC RSMs with the OEM M3 RSMs in my ZHP and now after reading this thread....I'm thinking about getting two sets of RE RSMs, one for each car....

    Wouldnt be a bad idea to look into, I can email them. Are the rogue front/rear strut mounts poly or just heavy duty? Really don't want to sacrifice ride quality anymore than it will with the coils going on the car. I definitely need some sort of new strut mounts to go with my coils.

    No poly in them is my understanding, just a better design. I'd be in for 2 sets if we can do a group buy. Thanks for your efforts Jacob!

    Ahh, right on. Well I'll shoot them an email as well tomorrow and see what they have to say.

    the rogue ones are nice, i have them in my car. obey the torque specs for the shock shaft nut.

    my OEM RSMs had around 135K miles when they came out - they were in surprisingly good shape.

    That's what I thought too. Mine only had about 50k on them.
    Here's what the one that popped out looks like...



    Looks pretty good, right? I discovered after I got it off the shock that it's completely split around the center.

    When it happened, I knew right away something was wrong. It makes pretty loud sound to let you know it turned to shit....
    What was surprising is just how strange and unstable the car was missing one shock.... that whole corner felt loose: lots of oscillation in every direction.

    If you have externally adjustable shocks they have a 12mm shaft.
    Rear coilovers still use a conventional shock so they'll work with those too.

    EDIT: Just wanted to be clear, the 10mm and 12mm are 2 different part numbers. Most of us will be using the 10mm
    Pair these with bc coil overs sounds good to me
