Has anyone tried the KYB E36 M3 Strut mounts on the ZHP any issues? Thanks

Uhh let me get back to you on the issues part. I have some binding noise/feel in the passenger side when I turn the wheel but haven't been able to determine if it's the spring rubbing, the bearing grinding, or something else. I changed everything at once and introduced too many variables to track, as I'll do.

Great thank you for the information!! Appreciate your response

Just remembered this!

The spring (Eibach Pro-Kit) was indeed rubbing on the passenger well.

The KYB mounts also added noticeable harshness to the front end (makes sense -- very little rubber compared to the OE mounts).

I swapped the springs and strut mounts back to stock, so who knows which one was the real culprit. Probably could have just moved the mount out a bit more to get rid of the rubbing.

Either way, @Galapolis has been running OE e36 M3 strut mounts for years without issue. The KYB is obviously a copy, but maybe the durometer of the rubber is harder? Idk.
