I've had a set on the car for right at 3 years now. Absolutely zero issues. They don't have a noticabley impact on suspension travel or front ride height like some other designs. Installation was a simple bolt on.

Since installation, I've covered about 60,000 street miles and over 100 autocross events.

I've used them with SPAX coilovers, and then Bilstein PSS9s. Never had them on with the stock springs or dampers, since those have been off the car for over 80,000 miles.

Thank you for your inputs all

Just curious, did you guys take a look at the non-coilover version of the plate on MM site?? It looks alot different from the Coilover version. Just double checking~!

I have the non-coilover version, as both the SPAX and PSS9s use stock style barrel springs on the front. It uses a poly bushing with a BMW 5 series bearing. Pretty bulletproof on our lighter cars.
