The m3 cab rear top mounts are much stronger than the e30 ones, alot of people with extremely low or harsh suspension have found it pop through the top mount.
They also require no modifications to fit and fit exactly as the e30 ones do.

If you've uprated the suspension you will get a handling gain, right up to the point the e30 top mount fails. So usually best to install these when you upgrade other suspension parts.

E46 M3 cabriolet ones are the best, and same sort of price and again fit exactly the same as the e30 ones.

The Rogue units look much better, but for the same price Gaz can convert to a spherical bearing...
