    Default Rear Shock Install BC Coilovers/Stock Upper Shock Mounts

    I bought a set of used BC Coilovers but only noticed afterwards I wasn't sold the original upper rear shock plates that came with them. Can I reuse the upper stock ones ? Does anyone have any experience with this?

    I can order from BC if necessary but am hoping stockers will do the trick.

    Ide reuse them if the rubber isn't all cracked and chewed,they will definitely be more comfy than the solid aluminum ones!

    I have the rubber bushings that come with the rear bc coil shocks. Solid aluminum ones? I'd assume the stocker and the BC Coil one are both aluminum, meaning the upper shock mount.

    I can't really remember if i did but If you can remove them from the old shocks go for it.


    BTW I'm pretty sure he's talkin about shock mount. The one that is bolted to the car with 2 10mm nuts.

    Thanks guys, you just saved me $112 plus shipping from FLA where BC Racing is located!!! Much appreciated. You gents are awesome.

    Was thinking to get to Street Performance to get these and my rsb installed. The mech will have no issues then.
