I will have a look at mine later but I'm pretty certain mine haven't had ANYWHERE near as much use/abuse.

I have those arms and never liked how little thread protrudes from the ball joint when done up. If the nut loosens on oem it should at least stay down the thread so if the taper fit goes it just gets loads of play rather than loss of control. On these arms the nut barely has a thread out the nylon.

The nut goes on a good complete 2-3 threads Not sure what else you would need as long as the nut is completely on threads I'm more concerned on why and how they have worked lose There is obviously a lot of heat from the brakes but this haven't changed from last year I will keep monitoring the nuts and see if they listen again

If I remember correctly I got approx 2 kg weight saving per disc. For a 288 mm disc that is.

Can't find those disks on the EP website.

Are they the regular alu belled ones but now coated and with EP  tuning sticker, or is it a new product?

10 bolt PCD on the bell, so likely the existing EP Tuning ones 'spruced up' a little.

 

Bye, Arno.

Of cause, im putting together a disc kit atm and if you was to replace standard 308 fronts and 288 rears with mine you will be saving 14kg of unsprung in total.

Yeah the 308s are very heavy. How much weight does your 288s save each then? Skickat från min SM-G800F via Tapatalk
