The Misumi washers are a Shore 90, ether based polyurethane. Currently $8.19 each and ship in 7 days.

Fantastic. Thank you for working out how to install the shorter shaft Mtype SA damper.

KEY NOTE IN HIS PICTURE ABOVE: you see he could not use the upper powerflex bushing. This is the issue I had when I ordered the single action 1m rear shock. I could not get the nut to thread using the stock or Dinan bushings. Once TC confirmed the DA 1M shock had a longer threaded shaft, I swapped them out. A lot of wasted time trying to get the SA to work and I had to spend more money, but it worked out in the end because I love the DA rear shock.
I have stock subframe, m3 LCA, and am using the bimmerworld toe arm for a non M e82. The only piece that is custom I believe is the little headlight level sensor bracket that mounts to the LCA. HPA makes one, but it only comes with their LCA kit.

Looks like HPA sells the level sensor bracket a-la-carte now for ~$50. Is there any reason to buy their lower camber link kit? The OE 1M/M3 link is cheaper.
Think the Misumi washer can be installed with the remaining pieces of the Dinan RSM?
