Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Car Numbers Source.Neat. Those look very nice. I have also never seen or heard of that source. So if I spend the 65-75 bucks, how long will they last, approximately, in your experience? (see full post)-
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Car Numbers Source.5 years?Do yours stay on full time? I ask because mine is mainly a street car, not mainly a track car. These numbers have to come off when I am finished with HPDE, which was the original attraction to magnetic. Do yours come off? Can they... (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Front Sway bar question.In simplest terms you are adjusting the ratio of roll stiffness of the front to rear. This has the effect of changing which end has more/less grip. Outer end holes have greater leverage to twist the bar, "softer bar setting", as you move the... (see full post)-
GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Oh it's definitely not a fix. But sometimes you just have to say F it. If it shuts it up till you can find a permanent solution then its still a win. It sucks when you are the poor bunny that seems to find the anomaly. Everyone says its the other... (see full post)
- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.I used an impact gun to tighten strut nuts as per Vorshlag’s instructions. I guess that I could try putting some rubber on the first coil at the contact point. Seems like a band aid for the problem, but would eliminate the plates as you say. I... (see full post)

Coz replied to the thread Whine / Howl Coming from the Rear End Area at High Speeds.It's because my car started whining after I took it to the drag strip. No wheel hop, just hard launches - well...as hard as a stock 6R80 will allow. (see full post)-
GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.As @biggsy mentioned earlier, there are a few threads on M6G about clunks after installing Vorshlag plates. The pertinent point usually has been the top nut. In the interest of eliminating every scenario, did you do it up by hand or rattle gun... (see full post)

GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.to save you pulling it apart you could cable tie some rubber over the coil that shows sign of contact and see if that shuts up the noise. At least then its confirmed thats the noise you were hearing. (see full post)
- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.I have the red top mount. I was very clear when I ordered the plates that I was going to use BMR SP084 springs. The pigtail at the top of the spring fits the mount correctly. I have no looseness when the strut was assembled. The nut is torqued... (see full post)
- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Suspension Banging.That is what I got from that video as well. BUT, I needed to ask the question because while looking at the parts I had that moment of doubt.BMR asking me to install the stock isolators seems to me to be like telling my taylor that my pants are...

GAR944 replied to the thread Suspension Banging.Vorshlag list 2 versions of their camber/castor plate. One is for OEM style springs and the other is for "coil over style springs" using industry standard spring diameters. Your pictures show the larger diameter spring perch which is the stock...

I suggest you wait until after my car is tuned in a few weeks before making a change. This is the product page you can see compatible products. This cam has a lot more... (see full post)

byronj replied to the thread Car Numbers Source.Magnetic will not stay put unless you tape them on. Your best best is to get a good vinyl stick on one you like,. I had my buddy make me a custom set and they have been on for about 5 years or longer now (see full post)-
