Do you use any threadlock on the ARP bolts?

I am using 12.9 socket hex bolts for my F80-Core4 hubs which I had difficulties lining up the 6 point hex key.
These ARP 12 points are great for that location. I wish I knew about this option. I never knew such a thing even exist. Thanks for sharing . |

Another FYI (though it's a pretty niche problem), if you're trying to use these knuckles with SPL tie rod ends and 18 inch E88's you can't without swapping out some hardware on the TRE's. There's contact.

I would just grind the head of the bolt down on that corner by a mm to clearance it and you should be fine. If not I'll take the uprights off your hands |

If you really want to use it, you will have to machine down the offset spacer

Some of the above is incorrect.
From my understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, The Strom upright has 30mm of correction The SPL arms can have a total of 1/2" of washers for correction, so approx 13mm. The SPL arms can be used without the washers, and then there is no correction, so that would be the proper setup with the Strom upright, assuming 30mm correction is what you need. Would be great if we knew exactly how much correction is needed for a given amount of lowering. Shouldn't be too difficult by removing the coil spring, and measuring the change as the upright is moved throughout its range. Or, an engineer with the measurements can model it for us! |

Second update: if you have E88's, Strom knuckles and SPL TRE's the TRE will contact the barrel of the wheel so you either need to get different wheels, Oem TRE's or file down the edge of your shiny SPL part.
(My wheels are 18 by 10.5 et 18 for reference. I think a narrower E88 may not have an issue but don't quote me on that.) |

I do know the older version was less bulky but I think they sent with the same spacers as the newer, beefier version so I think regardless of newer or older you will have the same relative height of the spacer stack. |

Finally got around to testing the uprights and getting an impression. I went out to Laguna Seca where previously my best lap was 1:39.8. I started the with the same shock damping as prior and I struggle with rear grip. The car felt it had less rear grip. Maybe the front was just hooking up more. Right in the morning I ran 1:39.2.
Through out the track day I played with shock damping to tune out some of the oversteer. I couldn't add more rear camber which was suggested by Strom. But I got the car to feel a little more hooked in the rear but didn't result in a faster lap. I got consistent 1:39~ but 1:39.2 was my best. I ran all stock component and removed my SPL bump steer kit. My overall goal with the upright wasn't lap time but better tire wear. This was achieved well. The overall tire wear was improved. Laguna is hard on tires, destroys the outer shoulder. I didn't have any damage to the shoulder other than normal wear. At this rate I think I'll be able to save one tires set per year. If so It will pay off the upright cost in 4 years. Overall worth it, in my opinion.

Anyone here that's replaced their uprights with these storm units have the stock ones they'd be willing to sell? I need a set of stock M3 front spindles/uprights for a different project. If anyone has a pair they sell me for a decent price let me know!
