please keep us updated.
i have the dinan's in a box not going on due to dinan's recommendation. Some of the kits are fine while some are not. It is a ball bearing issue as pointed out earlier. I need a camber solution asap as im on second set of tires in 2 months and 5 track days already.

More factually: some people have complained and some have not.

Well, the process isn't all that sexy, but maybe I'm jaded. We are in the middle of first side processes on the OEM perches and the main plates. Still have to do second sides and the two different bearing holders.
A stack of first sides done. The tolerances on the press fit are a killer. Blurry, unfocused action shot. You can tell I'm not a photographer. Side one done in the lathe. Making LOTS of chips... Finished side one. Waiting for second side.

It is now the middle of July. Vorshlag said it would be about 4 weeks from the beginning of June. What gives? I keep seeing their Facebook page update with products for domestic muscle (the favorite son), but no FXX BMW. What gives?

I know what is going on with GC plates, it's been that way for years, but what happened to Dinan? |

Bearing is too small, or not rated for the load, you need a substantial bearing for that setup, my guess is manufacturers of these plates are having difficulties finding them at a reasonable price. Good quality bearings of that size could easily run 150-200 a bearing. Kmac uses a needle bearing on an isolator on all there stage 2, probably make plates for hundreds of cars, market mostly in Australia, where half the roads are not paved. They know abuse. You can also thank bmw, no double wishbone for us, cheap sobs. |
