Still waiting on my second replacement set, the first replacement set was the old bearings. I didn't install them per Jan's recommendation. He said they are "express"ing me a new set. I doubt anything is going to get from Australia to Nova Scotia quickly.

After the recent political issues, do you really feel that's true?

Rofl ha lol. He does make a valid point. I don't feel very free in this country. However that is nether here nor there and has nothing to do with why my c-coms and everyone else's making noise.

Looked at some things tonight. The rear sway on the drivers side was loose. That fixed the popping I was hearing on the drivers side on 30 degree left and right turns. However when doing anything full lock turns the right side pops. That was the same side that did it on the last set. I'm sad. Does anyone know if the vorshlag plates work with the stock strut and spring size setup? Or is that a coilover only plate?

I used to be a big supporter of these parts but Im now on my 3rd set and they all have made the morning Pop noises.

I have been contacting Jan and no real solution has been reached.

Theses will be coming out once and for all.

I got a email from Jan today. They want me to install a new set with only max camber set and not max caster. Thinking the extra caster is doing them in.

I don't yet have my caster bushings installed. Mine didn't last two weeks.

Jan has not come to any real conclusion with me. I would think a refund would go through the vendor but I have no issue with Race Comp Engineering. It's whiteline that's accountable.

Calum did you just do camber and not caster and you have been ok? The shitty thing is I want that extra caster for performance. I wonder if doing the anti dive caster bushings while only doing neg camber on the plates will result in the same outcome.
