Does anyone here have Ground Control Street camber plates? Got a really good deal on a used set.
Only thing is that just by hand, I was able to easily pull apart the two, which pulls apart the bearing. The bearing looks okay, and the self-aligning features in the bearing mean it pushes together fine. It also rotates relatively smoothly, though I may re-grease since there's a hint of "crunchiness" which I suspect is just some dirt. Just want to be sure I'm not missing any parts here.
EDIT: Well I just answered my own questions by calling Ground Control. Yes, the two halves are supposed to come apart by hand. They also said to use Marine Grease for regreasing. There is limited caster adjustment, as the slots in the billet piece are wider than the studs.

Let us know how the ride is. Looks like they are solid metal.

Ground Control has famously bad customer service, so I’m impressed you got an answer. Knowing that, I still attempted to ask them a question about their articulating spring jacks (or something related to rear coilover parts, I don’t even remember anymore) and never got a response. Followed up twice, nada.
TCK at least had the decency to respond to my emails about a replacement part for my camber plates. The responses were short and incomplete, but at least they gave me something lol.

Huh, that's quite the opposite to what I've heard after talking with some guys on NAM3F. I did email and never got a response, but they picked up the moment I called and had answers to all my questions with sufficient detail immediately. And even though they knew I bought the plates used since I had mentioned at the beginning, they were still willing to help
So I'm finally getting around to getting my windshield replaced. My insurance only covers "like and similar" glass, but on the phone they said they would do OEM glass. That said, they only cover $40/hr for labor. I had planned to go to my local BMW dealer to have it done, but my insurance basically wouldn't cover much done by them. I would pay out of pocket, but the stealership's quote was ~$1,500. So instead I'm still having OEM glass replacement, but labor done by SafeLite. They're coming out to me. Has anyone had a bad experience with them? I figure if the glass is OEM, everything else should be okay. I'm worried about the rain/headlight sensor being affected, but assume having OEM glass should take care of that.
From what my friends have told me they have had very good experiences with Safelite. Make sure to get Pilkington brand glass.

I know a couple of people that had issues with them so I avoided using them. Instead I found a local shop that installs windshield. I also bought a genuine bmw windshield gasket since the ones companies use is trim to size.
FYI sekurit or Pilkington are both good brands for the windshield
