These extended rear top mounts (hats) for the E46 chassis are designed to convert to an upper bearing type mount, and allow maximum compression stroke in the process. This compact, lightweight package is designed to eliminate bushing compliance and give you the control you need in the rear of your E46 3 series. It also uses a raised design so that long shock bodies won't bottom out on lowered cars. With these hats sleeves can be flipped to optimize droop and free up as much compression stroke as possible.

Stock E46 mounts are a rubber bushing setup, which allows lots of deflection under high loads. This is great for ride comfort and noise, but not ideal for controlling a high spring rate in aggressive driving conditions. As spring rates, and therefore dampening forces go up, the damper can't effectively do its job because the top of the shaft is not mounted securely. In extreme cases, the stock rubber bushings have even been known to pull out of their mounts. This kit eliminates bushing deflection in a more durable package.

Note: This hat is for E46 only. For E36 search 10627

Made in the USA from 6061 billet aluminum. All Diftech hats use high strength FK wide-series bearings with Teflon liners for maintenance free, quiet operation. Diftech hardware kit included to fit to stock and stock type dampers with an M10 x 1.0 shaft. Customers can email us for custom install kits for specific racing applications.
