Ultimately, as long as there is nothing wrong and nothing is going to fall of the car,
a few mechanical noises won't bother me. Is there a performance benefit
in using the Torrington roller bearings. If so, can they be used with the oem
suspension parts??

NJ-GT,

I sent you a PM. What spring rates did you go with ?

Pete,

I do not know if they can, but I'll ask the guys who know, and post a reply.

I know that the 'sproing/boing' noises are gone on my car, and they were a daily annoyance, as I have a weird entrance / exit to my garage. I tolerate a lot of noises, but the sounds of binding springs just can't be a good thing IMO.

). For the pearches a company makes a thin roller bearing which when coupled with a thicker skirted separating collar removes the binding and Boing-
That's the bearing I'm referring to. It's a thrust bearing, not expensive, and it works.

my gt2 rubs the front tires when at full turn. I've heard this is a factory problem?
