Its just not good enough.
We have tried everything in the known world, and much of what has proven best has been recommended to us.
#1 Best for the slider, recommended by a racer in Texas who works in the oil fields: Lub O Gard MP50.
#2 Any anti-sieze without copper
Everything else is equal, but not as good, yet may be found in the enthusiast's home depending on hobbies:
>Boat trailer wheel bearing grease.
>Grease for DT Swiss bicycle hub ratchets.
>Molybdenum trailer hitch lubricant, specifically for fifth wheel.
>CV joint grease for Jeeps
>Redline engine assembly lube (temporary)
Best for the Torrington needle bearings and seals, as recommended by many Midwesterners who work with farm and construction equipment: Lucas Red N tacky.
Found around the garage:
>Phil Wood bicycle grease (waterproof)
>Winter motocross chain lube
>Any waterproof boat greaseHere is my photo gallery answering common questions about Ground Control Suspension, and e30 suspension problems in general.

Now I just need to buy the needle bearings + washers, and maybe the gold cup / what you called the slider (have the purple piece that seats on the top of the spring as well as the bushings for the Koni that go into the camber plate bearing). I'm assuming calling is the easiest way to get pieces like that?

FWIW, I've been cleaning the torrington/thrust bearings out once a year and lubing everything up with Mobilgrease 28 without issue.
I've had zero issues with my GC race plates, despite how old they are.
I think the biggest problem is when they get installed wrong. I've seen a few "creative installations" so far: upside down strut bushings, so the strut binds on the upper perch (Bilstein and Koni), "Reinforced" RSM's ripping out because someone put the reinforcement plate up through the bottom (Found that one on my old M3)...Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
