Just a thought, curious if any bad stories out there or input?

Thanks!
I assume you're referring to the wishbone/guide rod where the tapered washer is used? I had the same concerns as well initially. Using the tapered washer introduces a shear force on the bolt at the washer-bearing interface. I've had one trackday so far and no issues. Also VTL who pioneered this mod has torture tested his 135i on road rallies and no issues. So I figure it should be fine.
