$25

Extra pair, just trying to get close to what I paid for them.
Found a local pair so I got those, these are ones I ordered online.
Item number: rb28860003
Alternative to OEM Number: 31332225377
Got them 2 weeks ago.
Brand new, never opened.
Local pickup only. Located 90701

Used these when I installed lowering springs.

Good deal. I literally just installed these when I installed Eibach springs on my M3.

Did you shave your own top hats?

I did not; I just swapped springs. Did not trust myself with shaving the top mounts (i.e worried I might shave them in an uneven fashion)

There are services out there that specialize in returbing/shaving top hats, but the bump stops are crucial.

When I did mine, I was shocked at how trashed my bump stops were… almost completely disintegrating (I'm at 92k miles).

I'm contemplating buying yours just to have an extra set lol

Same. Initially thought of reusing the OEM ones, but nope, looked terrible at 113k so I thought might as well since I was there.

Wow ya yours look same.

Come to think of it, I wonder if it would help to coat them in something to help them from
breaking down and last longer under constant heat and pressure… maybe 303 Aerospace?
