I have had a set of them delivered today and cant help thinking they look quite chunky.
Has anyone used them?
I fitted Powerflex and Eibach. Can´t remember which one was front or rear. Both ok enough.
Thats good to hear. Eibach do front and rears but I dont need the fronts as I have coilovers but it usually sems to be the whiteline ones that people mention.
I do like Eibach stuff though so as long as the trader hasnt listed them wrong then I should be ok.
What is the part number on them ? should be 15mm i think on rears of the roadster, fronts are 14mm on front and ive got the fronts in mine, do have some rears but not fitted yet as camber is enough for moment without them, how much camber are you wanting ?
Iv seen a lot of places list the wrong ones on these cars so hopefully you have correct ones.
The box says 5.81270k.
Vehicles with 15mm bolts.
For some reason I was thinking 11mm and 12mm were the sizes.
I have about -2 camber approx from memory and was thinking I would go a bit less .
Sounds like the right ones then :)
-2 camber at rear is ok if tracking it ? maybe a bit much on road but not excessive by any means, remember fitting camber bolts will throw the toe alignment out so if everything else is good and tyre wear ok i wouldnt bother fitting them.
You must be pretty low at rear to have -2 camber ? im on Tein springs and have around -1.8deg at rear.

Yes, I am very low.
No plans to track but imagine that less rear camber will be better at speed so a bit of a trade off.

If that's the Eibach EZ-cams you've got, then yes - dig out my thread in Performance on how to fit them - I got it wrong in a few ways: Wrong hole ( :o), wrong way around and torque settings should be WAY lower than stock suspension torque, so much so that I actually put steps in the thread.... so I had to buy a second set when I re-installed them correctly.
Tony Bones at WIM in Chesham (their suspension guy) rated them very highly...that is when they're installed properly...

Thanks for the headsup.
Are you using them with coilovers? I was wondering if that would affect the fitment?

Yes coilies: as per my sig - they're the BC Racing entry-level ones with the 4kg/6kg spring rates and hybrid topmounts, not pillowball as this is my 250+ mile per week daily driver...
Install was pretty easy - they just needed some minor twisting back and forth to slot through as they aren't perfectly straight bolts - the only reason we messed up was because the packet was just the parts, so instead of looking it up, we copied off another car that was 5 feet away with the wheels off already (and we just assumed the other one was right). Not sure on the install on OEM shocks - my old ones were on the way out as the cam bolts were going in.
I was told cam bolts were pretty much essential if you wanted a decent fast road suspension geometry setup - HIGHLY recommended that you get that checked and donet... the turn-in is razor-sharp, your have to really try to unsettle the car to generate any understeer and if the road is slippery / speed high enough, you'll get really nicely composed tightening of the line on throttle (technically mild oversteer), but in reality it just feels like the nose gets tucked more into the corner... all very progressive and predictable - absolutely lovely!!
