    E39 top mounts / pillowblocks

    So, for her 200,000mi “birthday” my 99 540iA is getting all new suspension and brakes.

    On the way from a few sources are:
    KW V1 coilovers (sans rear springs)
    Full arm/bushing replacements
    Stoptech rotors/pads/lines

    What I’m having trouble with are adjustable top mounts / caster/camber plates for the coilovers. When I search for E39 stuff I get E36 or E46. Sometimes they cross list and sometimes they don’t.

    Has anyone done pillowblock top mounts on an E39 and would they share their solution?

    Thanks.

    I don't think the KW V1 coil-overs have pillow ball mounts.
    I am pretty sure they use the OE stock mounts.

    Looking for an E39 belly pan , passenger front inner fender liner …

    I know they CAN use stock mounts but if I can install pillow balls I’d like to. With stock struts the holes had to be wallowed out to get the camber right.
