No noises over bumps or while turning? Are you using the stock springs or aftermarket?

One thing we noticed after getting the NEW GR chassis WRX/STI versions in is the bearing is the KOYO brand , which btw is the same that STI uses for the group-n mounts. These are OEM level quality. THAT , my friends is ALSO good news and awesome on Whiteline's part to make this right.

Yay.

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but do camber plates compliment the tophats, or do they replace them?

Right. Camber plates are a type of tophat.

Nothing its stock, after springs installed LR=-1.6/RR=-1.7, so just left it alone. Close enough to -1.5 that I wanted.

I just installed a set of these and I may have a bad set, getting a small clunk over bumps. And just for those people, I never used an air gun for the install. I would love to get these sorted out because other then the clunk I love them.

When you got the new mounts did they want the old ones back? Maybe I'll see if I can shave down that metal rim.

If you got an old set I would talk to whiteline. Who did you get them from?

I purchased from Race Comp, I don't think it has anything to do with them. I have sent an email to Whiteline to discuss the issue.
