Sls shock mounts

Post by e24nut »

Does anyone at bigcoupe know if the shock mounts for standard and sls fitted sharks are the same?

Bugger. There is so little documentation on sls it isnt included in the factory manual. Could be a challenge to find...

Your not clear on exactly what you want to accomplish. Rear shock mounts are different, the "realoem" website shows the components for both SLS and standard shock set ups there are many different parts between them.
I've swapped out my SLS (car 11/88 635 USA) and installed the BMW shock mount 33521126680 using Bilstein B6 (HD) shocks.
The SLS mount is 37121126728.
