Also, the cheat code to those tight nuts is penetrating fluid, and lots of it. Ideally days before hand. You are indeed supposed to get an alignment.

M12 looks good. But I went with corded $80. I would probably use it a few times a year max

Drove more this AM. Did anyone notice much more noise on uneven pavement at slow speeds? I’m not sure if it’s a poly thing or if I need more grease. Sounds like a series of mini thumps when going over really uneven pavement.

Nice! Glad to hear you are done

I haven't, but I have the monoball so it might be different.

If anything monoballs would be worse as there is zero give. I have 100% experienced this and this is the negative side of this mod. To me it is well worth it.

Dinan did a video on the benefits of monoballs over poly. It's somewhere in this thread

Would this benefit someone lowered on just H&R springs?

Was going to look at rear and front sway bar upgrades but this appears to be a good upgrade.

[BimmerHausPerformance]

It would benefit anyone, no matter ur set up.

As brow said, this is its own independent upgrade. Just like how sway bars are their own upgrade, coilovers, etc. They affect different aspects of the handling.

So yea, you'd still benefit even on lowering springs.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the quick response.

Is this normal play? The monoball is allowing a lot of side to side play and it's actually hitting the shock arms, to the point where tiny little chips in the paint are visible.

Looks unusual to me. Good thing Turner has a really solid return policy if you need to, even if it’s used. Forgot the time frame though.

I have that much play in mine, but I am not AWD - I think that's the issue with the play for you.

If this is the driver's side, the spirolox ring should be outer sides. see attached on page 5.

Wow... that’s with ball joint tightened?

Yep, torqued to BMW's specs, with suspension weighted down (normal position)

That free movement is what helps with deflection and reduces angulation. One of my best handling mods, next to a rear sway and adjustable suspension.

I don't think the spirolox ring location matters. I checked the arms and they're on the right sides of the car, so this is just how ECS installed them from the factory.

Hey can you give an update on how it went?
