Sold!!!
Selling used SuperPro Fixed Camber Strut Mounts - SKU TRC5000 - $200
Price is pretty firm, will do $175 local pickup, willing to meet within an hour of SFV
Full disclosure: I bought them new, had them on the car for about less than 2 full tanks in my TDI, so somewhere under 1,000 miles. Removed because I (and two independent shops) could never get them to be silent for any extended length of time. My "adventures" with them are documented in various threads here and on Vortex, including my build thread. Anyway, after removing/installing about 5 times, making sure they were properly greased, torqued, etc... eventually they would develop minor noises with low speed turning, generally near steering lock.
There is NVH price to pay for increased camber and these are intended to keep NVH similar to stock... but it was not similar enough to be acceptable to me. No increase in vibration (as expected), some noise (mentioned above) but there is definitely added harshness. If it weren't for the low speed turning noise I wouldn't have removed them due to this harshness but back to back drives down the same roads showed a noticeable difference. I'm talking about poorly maintained/leveled roads and highways (I try my best to avoid potholes). I would also note that I had the 034 mounts installed prior and they had the same difference in harshness as compared to stock. Some claim no added harshness with either but solid aluminum is harder than plastic so the added harshness makes sense to me... your call on whether you notice and/or care.
Anyway, after 5-ish suspension combinations, somewhere around 10 sets of strut bearings (I replaced them every time I dropped the suspension, sometimes with less than 50 miles on them), I'm back on stock strut mounts, nice and quiet... the price is shipped in the US.
