I'm looking for a "sheet" of polyurethane. About 1/4" thick. Need to make some spacers between camber plates and body. Having all metal everything in the suspension makes for noise suspension.

Anyone know where one could obtain such a thing?

Ah, the clunk...

The clunk, the pop, the grind, the scrape.

:lol:

You're in ESP now, so no more excuses for dual-purpose amenities... ;)

Blam, $36. Thanks!

I've gotten some from mcmaster-carr before. It's not super cheap, I paid about $30 for a 12"x12" sheet of 3/8" stuff.

I know. But there is loud, and then there is these damn things. Maybe something else is wierd, but these are much much louder then the Teins with Noltecs were. I had the race plates with metal on metal as well.

-Tom

What are these? Other than the typical rear clunk, it shouldn't be any noisier. I actually don't get any noise from the metal/metal camber plate contact specicifcally, just more that transfer to the cabin.

Ground Control Advance Designs with their custom pillowball plates.

If by clunk you mean every single bump in the road makes noise, then thats correct :lol:

:(

I'll withold my comments on the GC struts.

I'm using MRT F / CUSCO R for camber plates and things are nice and tight. No noises. The Advance Design shocks are great - I'm sure you'll like them.

Pay close attention to the torque on the top nut that holds the AD shock in the strut housing. If loose, you'll hear a clunk and will most likely trash the shock as it bangs inside the strut housing.

I have the GC/AD setup and I didn't really have any noises at all out of them. I was using GrpN rear tophats though, not the pillowball mounts. I'll be using a set of camber plates on the top this year however.

Noise will still transmit from the tops of the bolts/nuts that is attached there, not just the bottom. You need to isolate the attachments in order to really quiet the noise.

The Bible.

Which would negate the entire point of the pillowball.

How about some high tech active noise cancellation. :lol:

When I used to have that problem I went to the local hardware store and bought some 3/16 rubber sheeting. Works great and I didn't have to get longer studs on the tophats.

Yea I thought about that too. I think that actually might be the better way to go, and way cheaper. I don't need to spacer the thing, but just get rid of a little bit of the metal to metal. I think I might do that for teh front as well.

I usually run down to my local TAP Plastics store for all my plastics, fiber and resin needs.

I don't think the front is nessesary, I never had NVH problems with just camber plates. It's just the location of the rear top hat in the Impreza chassis that creates the noise problem.

Tom, find any local plastic shop. They should fix you up.
