So back here to add my .02 for the HVT Camber adjustment mounts - wow. That's all I have to say, just, wow. I forgot how nice a quiet suspension actually is! Thanks @fstlane for the suggestion, they are pricey but worth it. If you still have the com-c's on and have clunking noises I'd recommend these as replacements - quiet as a mouse and built very solid!

Any reason with going for the HVT top mounts as opposed to Vorshlag? They are both at the same price mount, but I did notice you lose a little suspension travel with the Vorshlags.

I have been trying to get a refund from whiteline for the last three weeks.... Their customer service sucks. Their handling of this entire situation has made me decide to not buy any of their products again. So frustrating..

End rant.

has anyone determined if you can feel if the bearings are bad when the top mount is off the car? Mine don't feel too rough but I don't want to install them and get an alignment only for them to start making noise in a week

They will likely go bad on the car - both sets I had spun nice and smooth before they went on the car - all it took was a spirited back road drive for them to start making all kinds of noise.

I went through 4 sets last set lasted 24 hours. They finally sent me a RMA number and gave fa20club the go ahead to give me a refund. However he's waiting for the hardware to get there. I've been sick all week and haven't had a chance to ship them back out.

So from the looks of things, people are still having issues with the whiteline com-c top mounts? I called whiteline today and they told me I needed to get the washer from subaru.. was he talking about the conical washer? Does anyone have the part number for that?

That sucks. I'm glad to be done with that deal. I now have a fancy set of HVT Camber plates.

As far as using the conical washer it may work on stock suspension but not konis I tried.

Any caster adjustment available on the HVT?
