    Hi everyone

    I just received the parts. The solid mounts are here. I haven't yet received the studs though.Those of you who purchased the kits at the $110.00 intro price made a very good deal. I have to substantially raise the regular price from the estimated $150.00 to $190.00usd as the long sleeve cost twice as much to machine as initially quoted.

        This is great. We no longer have to order from Muzzi for these parts.

        Thanks Lee.

          Is this the same thing as the suspension geometry parts that correct that geometry on lowered cars?

            There are some eccentric bushings and weld-in eccentric adjusters. They kinda work toward the same direction. The mounts that I produce are solid, therefore eliminating any movement of the subframe, even in the worst possible situations. The mounts are also designed to raise the subframe up toward the shell, reducing camber right away, and lowering the car's roll center. These are weld-in parts. Meaning, once installed, you can forget them. and they are basically race-only because of the increase in road noise.

            As was mentionned in a previous post by SkaFrog, similar parts are available in Europe as raising the subframe is a technique commonly used on racecars on the old continent. 2002s, do it. e21s do it.

                These were made specifically for the e30 chassis. No experience on the e34.

                  You shouldn't need them on an E34. Anyone driving a golfer's family-wagon low enough to need to correct rear camber is an idiot.

                    Is welding really necessary? Seems like it should just bolt up like a standard poly bushing?

                      Look at the picture, and you'll see it needs welding ;-) One cap at each end.

                        Well the inner sleeve gets bolted to the car so wont the caps be sandwiched? With the top cap being against the unibody and the bottom cap being sucked up by the sleeve? And I dont understand why there is a weld on the top between the sleeve and cap. Wont that interfere with the sleeve sitting all the way up in the hole in the unibody?

                          Who said the top cap was against the body? ;^)

                            Nice, never knew about this method. I just got all new poly bushings all around for the rear along with the weld-on camber/toe adjusters. I installed the subframe bushings in reverse the raise the subframe, did I basically do the same thing as this kit?

                            Anyway nice product, free bump.

                              Do you know how much camber/toe you get back with these?
