Hi
Don Stevenson here, I run an E30 in the BMWCCA CR program.
I use the TMS J Stock suspension (specially valved Bilsteins and matched H&R springs).
I am replacing a set of worn out kmacs and just got the GC SE30 plates.
The bearing tightness (GC puts a note in the box about this) is over the top, to the point
that my mechanic wants to machine the bearing housings in order to make the bearings turn freely (good idea?)
These are so tight that the strut nut comes loose when the strut/plate assembly get rotated while holding in a vice.
Calls to GC say this is normal?
Is anyone else having these issues?
Should I stick with these plates and believe that they will loosen up, return them? Machine them?
Thanks in advance.
