    Upgraded FSB mounts?

    I put new bolts in each time. I haven’t had a chance to take it apart, which means I’ve had plenty of time to think about all the things that could be going on. I was holding off trying to find a different solution, but if it’s just me I’ll get to it sooner than later.

    Upgraded FSB mounts?

    I’ve sort of had the problem you have pictured before. It loosened then the nut popped out. It’s the reason I welded the nuts onto the top bracket the second time around. Looking in through the wheel well, the top part is sitting flush on the bottom part. I also have an aluminum subframe, so...

    Upgraded FSB mounts?

    I’ve got a 26mm H&R FSB and the mounts that come with the bar are trash. I get a track event and a half out of a set, then they seem to stretch and start to pop. I’ve used locktite, I’ve welded the nuts in place on the mounts, I’ve done both, and nothing seems to prevent them from loosening and...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    The issue I had after installing coilovers was that I needed to replace the tie rods because they were making a ton of noise. What happens is the ball/socket on the tie rod wears in the same spot, then when you lower the car (or raise it for that matter) the ball will pop in and out of where it...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    They ride better across the range of adjustments. But, the set I bought had 12k on them with one track event. Another track event and 4k later and I think they’re going to need rebuild sooner than later. Which is sort of what I was trying to avoid. On the track, they didn’t seem much different.

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Update: The rebuilders I sent them to (Performance Shock) put them on their dyno and they work as they should. They took the cartridge out of the body and said they couldn't see any obvious signs of damage or failure. They pointed out that the threads at the bottom (where the shock mount...

    Apex SM-10 17X9 for sale **SOLD**

    I’ve got 3 degrees camber in the front and roll center ball joints. Did you have anything in the rear? IIRC, there’s an issue with rubbing on the passenger side where the fuel filler neck/evap stuff is. Also, do you have an R or a GTI? The fuel filler is different I believe. I don’t really...

    Apex SM-10 17X9 for sale **SOLD**

    What setup did you run (camber, Suspension, etc) and did you have any issues with rubbing?

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Starts with a creaking noise, then a rattle/clunk over bumps, and eventually the front end bounced/floated over bumps. I think it’s a combination of a lot of things for me. I didn’t really start having issues until I ran slicks. I had dozens of track days on the B16s at stock camber, then...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    For anybody following along, I bought a used set of Ohlins with Vorshlag plates. Installed them, noise is gone. Wish I’d have just done the Vorshlag plates to start. Perhaps the spherical bearing would’ve saved the Bilsteins. Live and learn. I sent out a pair of the struts to get rebuilt. If...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Well I bought a set of Ohlins and sent the front struts from the first set of PSS10s out to be rebuilt. If those turn out to be rebuildable, I’ll probably keep one set of PSS10s and sell the others.

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Is the MT21 the most desirable? I did a quick search and couldn’t find out what the difference is.

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Which Ohlins kit do you run? (I only see one out there, but just checking.) The strut bearing issue makes sense to me. This also makes sense. The issue is that I made the choice to run slicks well after I put the B16s on. And I’m more willing to run slicks with a suboptimal suspension setup...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Is there an aftermarket strut bearing option? I’ve never seen one the 4 times I’ve had to buy the parts to do this work. I did look at some BMW stuff and found some people who had Bilstein deny warranty claims because of the camber but for most/all of the ones I saw it isn’t clear that’s...

    Issues with Bilsteins and Camber Plates?

    Wondering if there are any known issues with B16s and running extra camber. When my car had about 90k on it, I installed a set of Bilstein PSS10 B16s. After about 10k, I installed the 034 camber plates and ~15k or so later (25k total) the front struts failed. I ended up purchasing and...

    [SOLD] : H&R RSB+Moog Endlinks and EuroCode FCB

    Since you have a few people interested in the brace, I’m potentially interested in just the sway bar.

    FS: 034 Camber Plates and Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilovers

    Turns out I do have pictures of the shocks/struts--needed them for the warranty claim. So, here's that. I'll upload pictures of the camber plates at some point.

    FS: 034 Camber Plates and Bilstein B16 PSS10 Coilovers

    As the title says, I have the 034 camber plates (fixed extra 2.0 deg negative camber for total of 2.5 deg negative camber when installed). I also have a new set of rubber bushings/inserts from 034 as well. I bought the new inserts because I was trying to chase down a suspension noise that...
