Anybody using the (newer?) Powerflex CABs?

[Justin B]

They look pretty darn stout but am unsure whether I want to keep these or buy some Bav Auto offset CAB's. If I get any others whatever they are would anybody want to buy these? Theres nothing at all wrong with them, unused NIB :P. For those who have these though, did the part that slides over the control arm that slid into the actual offset piece that instals in the ordinary CAB location tighten up? What I was thinking is once the control arm was inserted into it and the offset part was installed too, maybe it pinches down a little? Its not wobbly, but it slides in and out with ease. Just wondering, thanks.

i believe everyone is using treehouse racing CAB's and they seem to be working out well for everyone.

I already have the powerflex ones, thats why I asked about the fitment. I dont really want solid mounts anyway unless I change my mind, its for a cabrio too with plenty of strange noises already. If there was another Treehouse GB I may be on it, but theyre a little expensive for my blood right now.

It's supposed to be loose like that. And Treehous CABs aren't solid, they still have bushings, albiet smaller O.D. ones.

Alright, yeah I know the THR mounts have small bushings but its a lot closer to solid than busted up stock rubber ones. I'll try to use these for now I guess, I really want to get the suspension project done. If they turn ghey which they shouldnt I'll decide between the THRs and some other urethane version.

if you wanna call that 1.5mm sliver of moly a bushing, i guess...

I have the THS Bushings, and LOVE them!

Sure, they pop a little - but I sanded down the paint on the Control Arm, and it's very hard to notice now. My front end is VERY tight! :D

Now...to get a Z3 2.8 steering rack..... :D
