BMR now wants me to remove the Vorshlag plates and put the stock isolators back on. That is a helluva lot of work to go where I don’t want to be. They claim they have never had this issue before. I am asking to see if anyone has.
 
I have seen a thread or post a couple years ago pertaining to Vorshlag plates and BMR springs. I can’t remember if it was on FB or M6G. It may have been a conversation between Kelly(former BMR employee and is now Kelltrac owner/founder) and Terry.

Things is several people have used that spring and plate combo without issue that I know of.

It’s a stretch but ask Kelly Aiken if he is aware of any issues of the spring/plate combo while he was at BMR.
 
That does seem a little excessive. Have to talked to Vorshlag? I had a banging issue on my Boss 302 and it was my error. If your car is on jack stands Id take a jack and raise the front wheels (be careful not to lift the car off the stands) and watch whats its doing. Shamless and uless plug to me. Think about buying a quickjack (worth the money)

This is where I thought this was going.
The only difference I can see is if the factory rubber supports more of the first coil in a taper arrangement thereby stopping the first coil from collapsing and becoming flat and closing the gap to the next coil. If this is the case then the Vorshlag stock spring style camber plates would have this issue with all the factory style/rate springs.
