I purchased the parts myself (Bilstein HD set from tunermotorsport.com, with spring pads and shock mounts). Ever since I had them installed, when going over bumps the back makes a sort of clunking noise that it never made before. The handling is improved, and accelerating/braking/turning are fine (no noise). Just going over bumps. Is it crappy shock mounts that came with the kit? If so, can these be easily changed to stock BMW mounts?
