I'm running the 12mm track set mounted on TCK DA rear dampers.

I wouldn't bother with extra bushings.
They're MUCH stronger that OE & for most people will last for many years.

Can't compare as I've always installed aftermarket RSMs along with aftermarket dampers.
My TCK DA suspension with 500/600# springs provides a much firmer ride than the OE suspension so the track bushings are not noticeably stiffer.

I have standard bushings (no extra set) in 10mm for KWV3. If you will be driving your car mostly on the street, I would go with standard as RE mentions they are 30% harder than OEM bushings. I don't have experience with the Track bushings, but the fact that they differentiate between the two indicates (to me at least) that they will be quite stiff/rough on the street.

Sry for the late response, but the bushings are included. If you want an extra set, they will be the +$10 option you are looking at. $99 buys you a complete set of RSMs

I put them in a few weeks ago. I can't say any negatives. I replaced my whole suspension ( coilovers, f&r sway bars, strut brace, and All bushings) at once. What is it that you want to know? Install wasn't as big a pain as I had read. Don't get me wrong I don't want to do it again that's why I got these.....Any specific ?'s just pm me

Did you get the standard ones or the new monoblock version? I have the standard ones installed, curious how much of a difference monoblock would be.

Just ordered some replacement standard bushings to go with new shocks.
Set of 4 for $10.
And $14 shipping.

Oh well, compared to the cost of the shocks/struts, it's in the noise.

BTW, bought Bilstein B6s from BimmerWorld. Labor day weekend you get a $100 gift certificate.
And their price was already lowest of everywhere I looked.
Set of 4 for $650.

Are you just doing shocks/struts? What springs are you pairing up the B6s with? Been thinking about suspension upgrade recently

Just original stock springs.
I don't think the B6s are much of an upgrade, just stock equivalents at a much lower price.
Have you seen the price on stock shocks/struts?

"Thank you for your order. The Bilsteins that you have ordered are on national backorder at the moment. We don't have them, nor does Bilstein or any of our intermediate suppliers."

On the bright side I've saved over $1000 on car parts in the last 2 weeks.
Because they aren't available anymore.

Edit: Spin again ...
Just placed an order with Thmotorsports. Never heard of them, but B6s for all 4 corners for $661.
I think I'm just mining sites that don't keep their inventory up to date, but we'll see.

Bilstein has been on National backorder everywhere for almost a year now. I canceled my B12’s after waiting for 3 months and just went with GC singles.

Yep. I'm going to try and find some used ones and have them rebuilt.
Rather not go to coilovers on my DD. Can't lower the car, already bottoms out often enough.
