Hi,
I just got my Bilstein B8 to replace the rear shock absorber on my 2011 E93 with 66K miles. I have M sport suspension.

I just want to know what other things I need to get to complete the jobs.
I have already gotten a pair of Monroe 907984 (Shock Top Mounting Kit). Is there anything else I need to get? Lower mounting kits?

Thank you!

I'd recommend OE bottom mounts for the rear and OE strut mounts for the front as well

Adjustable swaybar links perhaps

They're for when you drop the car. No idea why that guy would think they're applicable to your case.

It you lowered you car and installed OEM swaybar links, then the swaybar is under load 24/7/365. You can tell due to the geometry of the sway bar & how it sits. The only way to counteract this is to get swaybar links that are adjustable. In the front, I think the OEM swaybar is 11" and some change. If you drop the front end by an inch for example, you need a swaybar link that's 12" and some change, in order to keep the same geometry/ physics of the swaybar.

Typically, you need to reduce the length of the swaybar link in the rear.

Personally, I think the Whiteline Adjustsble links for the front are the best for a 335. Easy to install and adjust. Very stout. It's too bad they don't make a set for the rear.
