    Did you make the bung adjuster yourself or source it?

    Both the camber and toe adjustments are made on the outer. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    I like the dual sheer mount for sway bar link.

    just cut to the chase, no bracket..

    made a beefy rear strut brace for my car to test these.
    i bolted the plates above and below the strut mount, ideally I would weld them in but I daily this particular test mule.
    It's nothing fancy, just some thick DOM.

    Really cool job.

    Just throwing these out there if you want to make a heim...

    Repairable Heim's are the way to go now, lots of different sizes etc.

    Great work !!!
    Now raise the subframe with welded mounts. Just like BMW Motorsport used to do.

    interesting. it would be hard to mount a perch lower than factory... but not impossible. plus to work with ^ those id imagine the perch would have to be very specific to just that

    yea that's what I figured, cool stuff!

    True coilover would rob a bit of inner tire clearance though correct? I'd like to see an articulated spring perch mounted a bit lower than original to give more spring travel.
    depending on the coilover, gonna try and run sleeves on my skinny bilsteins.
    Interesting thought with the spring perch.

    IRP kit.
    we looked into getting our own machined.... pricey

    subbed. In for updates.

    Did you use one of the kits for the heim adjuster or make your own?
