For the past couple of weekends I have been hauling some significant weight in my car, which is lowered and on Bilstein sports and yesterday afternoon a few miles from home, w/ a full trunk and 2 rear seat passengers the left rear shock came up right through the mount about 3". The rear shelf was slightly damaged but thats about it. The mounts only had around 20k on them and had significant weight on them only a handful of times prior to this weekend, but i guess i have learned my lesson: Lowered E34's aren't meant for hauling.
