Stock nonM subframe? What toe arm did you use? Why the E46 damper instead of the 1M/M3 damper?
When you order the 1m SA rear shock, TC sends the E46 part with the spacers for the lower mounting point, so I am assuming it is the same for the 1m and E46.

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.
