Hey guys, I’m getting the BMR sp090r lowering springs, BMR adj panhard bar, BMR strut tower brace, and I also want to change the upper strut mounts to new ones, should I use the stock insulator as well or get new ones too, What’s the best option in my case? My car is a 2002 WS6. Also getting American racing TT2 and wider rear wheels.
Not sure whether to get aftermarket or oem ones, do they even make oem ones?
if your old OEM are still good use them....I have had fitment issues with aftermarket and cannot recommend any that are good.....I believe that new are NLA from GM

thank you for replying, you are correct, I haven’t been able to find any OEM online either, found other aftermarket ones like KYB and Strano but I’m not sure whether they’re good.
I installed the KYB with no issue. They bolted in and worked like stock on my Bilsteins. There is two different part numbers as they are side specific.

thank you for the above information 👍 I actually bought ones from Strano with the insulation kit a couple of weeks ago, I’m compiling a lot of parts and once I’m done I’ll ship them to where I live overseas in UAE 🇦🇪 .
To be honest, I don’t really know whether I’ll need them but I’d rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them if it makes any sense. And since I’m going lower the car with BMR lowering springs I’d say it’s a good idea to replace them.
